8. I was able to share with both TeamViewer and Zoom.

From an iPad Mini to an iPhone. Lots of steps to do so with either application. I totally recommend you borrow a friends iPad, or have some other iOS device you can practice between. From the Apple support link I posted, messages still looks simpler once your mom is logged in, but I haven’t tried it yet.

(For TeamViewer, your iPad would need the “TeamViewer: remote control” app, and your mother’s iPad would use “TeamViewer:quick support.” I wasn’t able to remotely control the iPad, though.)
