What is Phone Link?

Phone Link

Phone Link is a handy tool that lets you mirror your Android phone's content right on your computer. This means you can easily access your photos and videos without the hassle of sending them to yourself via email first. But keep in mind, this app currently works with the latest 25 Android phones that run on Android 7.0 or higher.

Setting Up Phone Link

Once you grab Phone Link from the Microsoft Store, you'll need to spend a few minutes syncing your Android smartphone with your PC. Don't worry; it’s pretty straightforward! Just follow the setup instructions provided by the app. You'll also need to download a little tool on your phone to help establish the connection using the remoteSystem feature.

Simplifying File Transfers

This application really aims to tackle a common problem for Android users: viewing photos and websites on your computer without having to email them to yourself. In short, it makes transferring content between devices super easy!

Current Features and Future Plans

Right now, Phone Link works well with photos that can be dragged and dropped into Office and other applications available for both Windows and Android. But there's more good news! Microsoft has plans to add even more features in the future, like sending and receiving text messages, making calls, and getting notifications from your smartphone.

A Glimpse into What's Next

Even though some features are still missing compared to what Microsoft initially showed off, they’re expected to roll out soon. This could bring Windows closer in functionality to macOS, which has allowed smooth transfers from iPhones for years.
