# Multi-Device Testing on Real Devices
18+
19+
**Multi-Device Testing** enables you to run multiple devices simultaneously in a single App Live session, allowing you to validate your application across different devices and OS versions faster and more efficiently. This approach simplifies **cross-device testing** by bringing multiple devices into a single session.
20+
21+
LambdaTest allows you to run **up to 6 devices at a time** within a single session, depending on your plan’s parallel limit. You can choose different applications for each device or test multiple versions of the same app concurrently, all from a single interface, without the need to start separate sessions.
22+

24+
25+
## Use Cases
26+
27+
- **Cross-Device Functional Testing**: Validate app functionality across multiple devices simultaneously.
28+
- **UI Consistency Check**: Ensure your app displays correctly on different screen sizes and resolutions.
29+
- **Multi-App Workflow Testing**: Test interactions between multiple apps in a single session.
30+
- **OS Version Verification**: Verify app behavior across different OS versions.
31+
- **Faster Regression Testing**: Reduce testing time by running multiple devices together.

## Multi-Device Testing Workflow
36+
37+
### Step 1: Open a Real Device Session
38+
39+
Log in to your [App Live Dashboard](https://accounts.lambdatest.com/dashboard), upload your app, and select a **real device** (Android or iOS).
40+
41+
---
42+
43+
### Step 2: Add Devices Using Multi-Device Option
44+
45+
Once the session is open, click on the **add device** option to add more devices. You can set **up to 6 devices** per session and select the **device and application** for each.

48+
49+
### Step 3: Apply Multi Device Control Settings
50+
51+
Once devices have been added to the session, you will see an option called **Multi-Device Control**. This feature allows you to apply common actions and settings across all connected devices simultaneously, reducing repetitive steps and ensuring consistent configurations.

55+
**Supported Multi-Device Controls**
56+
57+
| **Feature** | **Description** |
58+
| -----------------------| ---------------------------|
59+
|Home | Instantly navigate all devices to the Home screen with a single click |
60+
|Record Session| Start recording on all devices together, instead of initiating recordings individually|
61+
|IP Geolocation| Apply a unified IP geolocation to every device with one click|
62+
|GPS Location| Set a common GPS location across all devices simultaneously |
63+
|Network Throttling|Apply the same network throttling profile to all devices without configuring each device separately|
64+
|Settings|Update global settings such as idle timeout, language and timezone for all devices at once|
65+
66+
67+
:::info
68+
- Currently, **Record Session** downloads are not compatible with QuickTime Player. If you are using macOS, you may need an alternative media player to view the recordings.
