How to set up and use Microsoft Your Phone – Guide
Microsoft’s October 10, 2018 Windows update includes a new feature called “Your Phone App.” This feature allows easy sharing between a smartphone and your PC. You can drag and drop photos from a phone to a window on your PC, or send web pages from a phone to the PC, where they open instantly or can be saved in Action Center for later use.
You can view your PC’s timeline on the phone, though that feature is still in beta - as it’s the coolest feature of all, Screen Mirroring, which allows you to view and interact with your smartphone screen on your PC. ..
Microsoft announced this week that it is working on a way for Android phone users to receive notifications from their PC applications, in addition to the notifications they already receive from their Phone applications. This would be a great feature for iPhone users, but Apple keeps a close watch on its ecosystem and has not allowed this functionality to be implemented on iPhones yet. Android is much more customizable than iOS, and users can still set a different launcher home screen for their phone. With Microsoft’s new Phone application, they are taking advantage of this opening to create an impressive link between the mobile and desktop worlds. ..
