To view the content of an Android phone on your computer, you will need to install a program called Android File Transfer (AFT) on your computer. AFT is a free utility program created by Google that allows you to transfer files between your Android device and your computer.
Here are the steps to install and use Android File Transfer:
1.Go to the Android File Transfer website at Android File Transfer on your computer.
2.Click on the “Download Now” button to download the AFT installer to your computer.
3.Once the download is complete, open the AFT installer and follow the on-screen instructions to install the program on your computer.
4.Connect your Android phone to your computer using a USB cable. Make sure your phone is unlocked and the “File Transfer” option is selected on your phone.
5.Launch the Android File Transfer program on your computer. You should now be able to view the contents of your Android phone on your computer, and transfer files between the two devices.
Note that some Android phones may require additional drivers to be installed on your computer before you can use Android File Transfer. You can usually find the necessary drivers on the manufacturer’s website or by searching online.
