3. Open Chrome on Your Computer

• Open Google Chrome on your computer.
• Type chrome://inspect in the address bar and press Enter.

4. Allow Device Detection

• Ensure "Discover USB devices" is checked in chrome://inspect.
• If your device doesn’t appear:
  • Ensure ADB drivers are installed (on Windows).
  • Make sure your phone is unlocked and connected properly.
  • Port forwarding... is optional and not required for device detection—it’s for routing specific local ports.

6. Inspect the Page on Your Computer

• On your phone, go to Developer options > Wireless debugging and enable it.
• Tap Pair device with pairing code, or Pair using QR code (depending on your Android version).
• Use the pairing code or port/IP provided.

If the system has ADB (Android Debug Bridge) to connect:

adb pair <ip-address>:<pairing-port>  # Only if pairing is needed
adb connect <ip-address>:<debug-port> # This port is shown in Wireless debugging

(Find the IP and port in Wireless Debugging settings.)
