How to Use Motorola’s Ready For on any Motorola Smartphone

When it comes to using smartphones with your monitor or display, Samsung does it perfectly well with the Samsung Dex. Other brands like Motorola are now following suit to bring similar features to their smartphones as well. In the case of Motorola, they have released their desktop software for Motorola smartphones called Ready For.

With the help of Ready For, users with Motorola smartphones can use their phones like a tablet when connected to a display. Whether it’s work-related tasks or simply gaming around, you can do all of your tasks on your Motorola smartphone on a big screen without having to buy an additional big-screen tablet to do all of those tasks. Ready For even works just fine for placing video calls, movie streaming, and almost anything and anything that you would like to do.

However, the problem with Ready For is that not all Motorola Smartphones can make use of this feature and, this is kind of a shame considering that Motorola has a large number of smartphones in the low to middle-budget range. But worry not as there is now a workaround that you can follow to get Ready For working on your Non compatible Motorola smartphone.
