Notifications, swipes and all the usual gestures just work: This is a screenshot from my Windows 10, when I mirror the display of my Samsung Galaxy Note S10+: I also use this quite often, even if not daily. Mirroring the display over Wi-Fi is fast and works surprisingly well. The only feature that requires a live Bluetooth connection is phone calls – I guess Wi-Fi would have too much latency for this. My main Windows 10 PC does not have Bluetooth, so I use all of this over a regular Wi-Fi. It’s especially useful when I get two-factor authentication messages over text, and I don’t have to manually type in those sometimes long series of numbers. The way I seem to use this app is to respond to text messages (that I still occasionally get). In addition, you also get neat features, such as a shared clipboard between the phone and your PC! This allows you to copy something on either device and have it available for pasting on the other. Mirror the phone screen and use the phone remotely.View and manage photos stored on the device.Manage text messages – read, send, delete, etc.

Once the app is installed on your Android device, and you’ve updated the app to the latest version on Windows 10 it allows you to perform the following tasks on your PC: Both very decent requirements in my opinion. The requirement is for Windows 10 to be at least in April 2018 patch level, and Android needs to be at least 7.0 (Nougat). It’s worth noting that all features are available for Android-based devices, and support for iPhones is rather limited. You can download the app for Android from the Google Play Store. The app allows you to utilize your phone through a Windows 10 PC – thus, avoiding you to pick up the phone to perform simple tasks, such as sending text messages or opening an app to verify something. It was first made available in mid-2015, but since 2018 it has been actually useful. I’m a huge fan of the Your Phone Companion app that is now available for Windows 10. Thanks for reading my blog!
