4Why Multi control is not working on my devices?

Most multi-control users find issues while connecting to two devices due to broken multi-control, which can be due to several reasons.

Here, we will explain the common and unexpected reasons for broken multi-control.  

📝Reason 1: It can be due to some apps interfering with the accessibility settings, preventing MC from operating and functioning. We usually just uninstall the app and forget it, but these apps can be a significant reason for MC failure even after uninstalling because they leave some remnants behind in the 'Installed Apps' option under the 'Accessibility' tab, hindering it from working properly.

📝Reason 2: Another possibility is that the error occurs when you drag and drop something between the devices. This error arises because the accessibility feature on your device is turned on.

Go to the General Management tab and select the reset option. Choose 'Reset Accessibility Settings,' and you can now seamlessly drag files or folders.
