Phone Link can also be used to mirror the screen of an Android device however this feature is currently in beta and only available on select Samsung devices with the Link to Windows service. As part of the Windows 10 October 2018 Update (1809), it replaces the legacy Phone Companion app. It enables a Windows PC to access the 2000 most recent photos on a connected phone, send SMS messages, and make phone calls. Microsoft has also announced it is expanding Phone Link availability to China, made possible by a partnership with Honor.Phone Link, previously Your Phone, is an app developed by Microsoft for Windows 10 for connecting Android to Windows 10 devices. The Your Phone Companion app for Android has been accordingly rebranded to Link to Windows. With the next Windows 11 update, Phone Link users will even be able to sync their Android phones by simply scanning a QR code during setup. The notification panel is now situated upfront and has been streamlined a fair bit, and Microsoft has moved the Messages, Photos, Apps, and Calls sections into a navigation bar located at the top of the app.Īll of the changes are available in the latest Phone Link update, which is rolling out today. The redesigned app also brings changes to the User Interface. The Start Menu and Task Manager received similar updates last month. Phone Link features a big design refresh to bring it more in line with the visual feel of Windows 11 - controls, animations, iconography, et al.
The app even lets you use some Android apps on your computer - a touchy subject for Windows 11, but one Microsoft has recently made some progress with. Your Phone launched over three years ago and lets Windows users connect to an Android phone, giving them access to their notifications, texts, calls, photos, and more right from their PC. Microsoft has announced a massive overhaul of the ‘Your Phone’ Android companion app for Windows, complete with an aesthetic facelift to match Windows 11 and a name change to ‘Phone Link’ - reports The Verge.
