Link to Windows

This app is exceptionally good for a small business. The only issue I have (it's basically why I would stop using it) is I have to go back to my phone to talk on the call. If you could fix the relay issue for your PC to act as in audio input for the call, this would be 100% rated for me.

The app will automatically switch the call to my PC when connected, which frequently causes my outgoing audio to glitch and the person I'm talking with can no longer hear me. Also, when connected, the app will cause whatever media I was last listening to to automatically start playing on my phone any time I interact with my PC. I'll be across the room and I'll hear in the distance the podcast I was listening to earlier start playing automatically. Genuinely baffling decisions.

Great app when it works, but inconsistent. When using 2FA, I can hear the notification for the code on the phone, but the message doesn't get transmitted to my PC. Another notification, then maybe I'll get the message. Same with photos. It displays them, but doesn't always let me delete them from the PC.

When it works it works amazing. Microsoft has gotten in the habit of delivering a consistent product and link to Windows is just one of the many great experiences it offers. With excellent integration between phone and Windows PC. For example, take a screenshot on the phone? Will get a notification on your PC to view that screenshot if you want to.

1/2 Great when it works. It's just so very very difficult to connect and you can end up wasting hours trying. 2/2. I've recently upgraded phones and with the new phone it appears to work seamlessly. Really good! Really smooth! Really easy! Essentially, I've updated my review that this might now work well with old phones, but does work well with newer phones. My new phone is running Android 13 and the previous was Android 10.

Thanks for the feedback regarding connection issue, please note both devices are on same Wi-Fi Network, turnoff battery saver option on your phone, update both apps to latest version and same Microsoft account is required for both devices. Please drop us feedback at https://aka.ms/phonelinkfeedback if the issue is not resolved.

I've never had any issues with this app and the companion PC app. Everything just works, it stays connected to either one of my computers, when at home. Love being able to text or call from PC and viewing photos is nice as well. I do wish that photos from your phone would sync over WiFi, instead of Bluetooth. Would be nice to download multiple photos at once to your PC, instead of one at a time.

Great app... makes texting through my phone, using my PC, a breeze... that was until recently when now there's a problem texting from my PC when I pop up my phone's screen on my PC...and there is also a connectivity message that comes up and the app goes offline. Otherwise, the ability to use your phone through a PC keyboard and mouse or touchpad is something I really like and facilitates great productivity. Hope there is a solution for the issue with being unable to use my keyboard.

It was working fine until update. Now neither phone will connect unless I enable syncing over mobile data. Why?? I only use this when I`m on WiFi near my PC. Somehow it started working and worked for a few months. Then I was away from my home and network. On return, it no longer connects via WiFi. What a frustrating app! Emailed support. Got instructions that don't match my screens. Can't even uninstall stupid app!

If you're experiencing persistent connectivity issues after trying other troubleshooting methods, doing a soft reset of your app may help get things working again. Visit: https://aka.ms/resetPL for detailed instructions on this.

Makes phone calls hell. Connects and disconnects repeatedly while rerouting the audio source and creating and closing and recreating a pop-up window that is mandatory overall other windows. Also, if you try to make the call through the computer, it is a bigger disaster. The other features, while buggy, do work.

It constantly wants me to connect, it keeps promoting me to connect. Constantly. But then doesn't offer a way to "Sign in" unless my computer is on, and I don't want it always on, can't have it always on as I'm on solar power in an RV. Stop demanding I use your app constantly. And don't put an option to "Rate us 5 stars," that's why I put one star instead of maybe 3. This app is annoying.

Instantly disconnects when you plug it in to USB on Samsung Note phone. Done this from the start. Visited several Microsoft forums where others have same issue. Tried every possible solution to no avail. They just released a new version with new features but the fundamental problem remains. Utterly useless! File Exployer opens and closes every time.

It's a great so with 3 nagging problems. 1. When you get a phone call the overlay of the app on your computer monitor is way too big and not resizetable. It should literally be 1/4 of it's current size. 2. Additionally, it won't remember where you move it and cannot be set to always come up where I put it on the 2nd monitor. 3. Phone calls continue to ring on the computer long after you answer your cell phone. This is very annoying. If it matters I have a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra & Window 11

It's fast, simple, and most importantly a secure way to share and sync your data across multiple platforms. It's spot on another amazing, safe, and reliable Microsoft app. That's what 40 years of experience in technology will get you. Thanks MS for producing an app that everyone needs no matter what type/brand of phone or computer you use.

It's taken like 5 years for this app to be usable. But finally it works. Let's you control calls and messages via PC, share your phone screen to PC, even run an app on your PC while doing other things on your phone. However it does seem to get weird sometimes if one device is on 5ghz and the other is on 2.4ghz. could use a fix there. It's come a long way.

Sorry you’re having trouble connecting. Please retry the setup process: 1. Ensure your device is connected to the same wi-fi as your PC 2. Update to the newest Your Phone app on your PC and Your Phone Companion app on your device 3. Restart both apps on your device and PC If you still can't connect, leave feedback from the settings menu.

Looked like a great app until I found out about the amount of data (text messages, clipboard contents, recent photos, and notifications) that is transmitted to Microsoft's servers for something one would assume is transferred over the local connection to the PC. Not for the privacy conscious, I do not recommend using this app.

terrible and useless. does not connect at all even with numerous troubleshooting tips. the app on PC is ok, but this app for phones is some of the crappiest amalgmation of "coding" ive ever seen. there isnt even an option for phones to connect to PCs they've already paired with. everytime something goes wrong you have to scan a QR code and hope it does something either than bring you back to the useless connect page with no actual options on connecting. i can code a better app in an hour lmao

So Far So Excellent! The app improves productivity, and makes it easier to write texts. The new features are useful. For example, running Android apps in Windows provides convenient access to Android even when the phone is elsewhere. However, I have found one Android app that won't run, and trying to open it creates a flickering Window that won't close. Features Request: (1) Allow users to press enter without sending. I deducted one star. (2) Let users create shortcuts to Android apps.

App is incredibly inconsistent, transfering pictures and recieveing messages have been fine. Sending messages doesn't work half the time and when it does it often sends the message after several minutes. Phonecalls from the desktop might as well not exist, in the few years I've been using this app it has only worked for only 1 day. The app is useful but it is not 100% functional.

Apps will not link. Messages are on the PC screen, but the call feature is not available on my Samsung 24. The replay given is no different than that offered by the app help option. It was not helpful. I did fine the PC setting that allowed connection. Even after connection, the app will not show the phone face, and the call option is not available for my device. The messages can be seen and read. The photos on the phone can be opened and edited, with other apps. My phone can no be controlled.

The fact that it's impossible to download more than one photo at a time on PC is inconceivable. I was expecting a phone link to actually say, allow me to access my files on PC instead of the bare bones features this app has. If you want to respond to text messages on your computer I guess it works. Aside from that this app is useless.
