Extended controls - GeeLark | 1st Antidetect phone

Introduction to Extended Controls

Extended controls represent advanced APIs and settings that go beyond basic functionality in software applications. In virtual environments and device management, they offer deeper integration with the host platform, enabling users to manipulate system-level settings, automate repetitive tasks, and orchestrate multiple environments simultaneously.

Imagine a social media manager posting simultaneously across ten brand accounts with a single click—this is the power unlocked by extended controls.

Key Takeaways:

Multi-device synchronization for cloud phones and browsers
Fine-tuned performance and usability parameters
Best practices for security and handling limitations

Extended Controls in Cloud-Based Environments

When using cloud-based platforms like GeeLark’s antidetect phone solution, extended controls bridge the gap between physical and virtual device management. They allow programmatic control of multiple devices, real-time synchronization across environments, customized user profiles, and automated digital-fingerprint management. Unlike traditional antidetect browsers, GeeLark’s cloud approach delivers system-level APIs that support true multi-device orchestration:

// Example: Initializing the Cloud Phone Synchronizer API
import { Synchronizer } from 'geelark-sdk';
const sync = new Synchronizer({
  profiles: ['profileA', 'profileB', 'profileC'],
  mainProfile: 'profileA'
});
sync.on('action', action => sync.broadcast(action));
sync.start();

This snippet demonstrates how to instantiate and start the synchronizer for multiple cloud phone profiles.

GeeLark’s Synchronizer Technologies

Cloud Phone Synchronizer: Advanced Device Management

The GeeLark Cloud Phone Synchronizer lets you:

Select multiple cloud phone profiles for synchronized operations
Designate one profile as the main control window
Replicate clicks, swipes, and text inputs across all linked devices

By propagating commands from the main window, the synchronizer eliminates the need to configure each phone individually, saving hours of manual effort. Learn more in our detailed Cloud Phone Synchronizer guide.

Multi-Window Synchronizer: Browser Environment Control

GeeLark extends extended controls to browser profiles. Follow these steps:

Open at least two browser profiles in the [Profiles] section.
Click the Start Sync button in the bottom-right corner.
Control all browser windows from one main window while maintaining separate digital identities.

This feature enables simultaneous interactions—such as filling forms or navigating sites—across multiple sessions without altering individual environment settings.

Advanced Settings Within Extended Controls

Extended controls also include fine-tuning parameters to balance performance and usability.

Performance Parameters

Slave frame rate: Adjust the display frame rate on controlled devices to optimize responsiveness.
Network bandwidth limit: Simulate different network conditions for more realistic testing.

Usability Parameters

Control clarity: Set the resolution and quality of phone displays to match your system’s processing power.
Sidebar visibility: Show or hide the control sidebar for a cleaner interface.

Practical Applications of Extended Controls

Account Management and Marketing

Simultaneous social-media posting across multiple profiles
Consistent brand engagement through synchronized actions

Development and Testing

Run automated tests on multiple virtual devices at once
Identify platform-specific issues through synchronized testing
Metrics and Benchmarks:
Average sync latency: 200 ms
CPU usage per synchronized session: ~5%
When testing on virtual devices, the emulator extended controls feature helps simulate battery, network, and sensor conditions with ease.

E-commerce Operations

Manage inventories and orders across different marketplaces in one workflow
Maintain consistent product information by replicating updates instantly

Best Practices for Extended Controls

Understanding Limitations

As noted in GeeLark’s documentation, UI variations across apps can cause mismatches—for example, a “like” action on the main phone may trigger a “comment” on another. Always verify critical actions manually when dealing with diverse interfaces.

Security and Permissions

Extended controls require elevated privileges and must be explicitly authorized.

Declare and grant only the permissions you need.
Use short-lived tokens and revoke them after testing.
Store credentials securely and monitor access logs regularly.

Conclusion and Next Steps

Extended controls in GeeLark transform routine device and browser management into efficient, automated workflows. By leveraging the Cloud Phone and Multi-Window Synchronizers, you can scale operations, enhance testing accuracy, and streamline multi-account tasks.
