I'm trying to unlock my Android phone, but I can't perform a left-to-right swipe on the screen because it's locked. Is there any way to simulate this gesture using a USB cable and a tablet, even if I can't interact directly with the phone?

If your screen isn't working due to damage, you might consider connecting a USB-C hub with HDMI output to your phone. Then, attach a USB mouse and a monitor. You can use the mouse to perform the swipe action needed to unlock your phone.
But just a heads up, if you're having software issues, you might need to explore other solutions. Sometimes, being able to power off and enter your passcode works better!
