The Phone Link ( www.aka.ms/phonelinkpin ) experience starts on your Windows PC and the Phone Link app. From your PC, you can connect to select Android and Samsung devices with the Link to Windows app that’s either preinstalled on your device or that you can download from the Google Play or Samsung Galaxy Store.
This link between your Android device and PC gives you instant access to everything you love. Read and reply to text messages with ease, view recent photos from your Android device, use your favorite mobile apps, make and receive calls, and manage your Android device’s notifications right on your PC.
The Phone Link app requires the following to work :
- A PC running Windows 10 (with the May 2019 Update or later) or Windows 11.
- An Android device running Android 7.0 (Nougat) or later.
- Your phone and your PC both need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
- We recommend always having the latest version of Windows installed to make sure you get the best experience with the Phone Link app.
