If you don’t see the Your Phone app in the Microsoft Store, don’t worry – it’s just rolling out in stages, Microsoft says that it will be available to everyone by the end of the week.

Editing an image in the Windows Photos app Īn in-line reply feature, straight from the notification, is in the works too, as are an unread message indicator and an emoji picker.

This isn’t available in the public version. The Insiders version has a feature that mirrors the phone’s screen, allowing you to type up a response. There’s currently no way to respond to these notifications, however. Notifications from your phone also appear on your computer. Soon you’ll be able to send photos over MMS too (this feature is still in testing). You can read messages and type responses on the large computer screen and comfy keyboard. SMS messages are handled natively too, even group chats.

Photos from your phone will appear in the app’s gallery and you can simply drag and drop them onto your PC. Phone Link, formerly known as Your Phone, brings your Android phone and your Windows PC closer together. You need to install Your Phone on your Windows 10 PC and the Companion app on your Android phone (OS version 7.0+), then link them up. The app was first available to Windows Insiders, this is its first public release (note that the Insiders had additional features in testing). Microsoft’s Your Phone app allows you to sync texts, notifications and photos from your phone to your PC.
