Genymotion lets you actually simulate a full phone and is just a more familiar layout. I have tried all the above software and for the average user I would recommend sticking with either BlueStacks or Genymotion (my favorite). I mostly use them have used them to develop in Linux or to do pen testing but I had just never thought to use a phone OS to simulate a phone.īut that is all most phones are, an operating system, they are computers that make calls, so why not simulate one on your PC. Virtual machines are simulated computers that run on your physical system (PC, Mac, laptop) allowing you to test applications, code, etc. If you don’t know what a VM or virtual machine is don’t worry, before I took web dev I didn’t either. I had never considered the potential to run a phone on my computer even though I had run a virtual machine before.

I reached out to one my friends who has been hacking android phones for years and asked him if my idea to simulate a phone was possible, sometimes people > google. I wanted the ability to have it integrate into my daily routine while sitting at my computer. I mean sure, you can comment and you can do some limited activity on the browser version of instagram but we all know it isn’t as good as using the application.īut that doesn’t mean that community management with just your thumbs is a lot of fun.Īs a developer I thought there had to be a better way, some way that I could use the full application with a keyboard, and while I could probably connect one to my phone or to a tablet I didn’t want that.

Close up of my simulated phone with IG open running in windows and my “light paperwork”.ĭon’t you hate the fact that you still have to pick up your phone to talk to your users.
