To connect your device via Wi-Fi in LocaRun, follow these simple steps:

Unlock your device and tap Trust when the security prompt appears.
After a successful connection, disconnect the USB cable to return to the LocaRun main interface.
Step 2. Ensure Your Device and Computer Share the Same Wi-Fi Network
Verify that Wi-Fi is enabled on your device and that both your device and computer are connected to the same wireless network.
