Overview
Phone Link is a feature-rich Android smartphone management app that enables Windows PC users to establish a direct connection to their mobile devices and take full control over instant messaging, phone calls, viewing notifications, and much more.
Built from the ground up to transfer as many smartphone features directly on the desktop of any modern PC and laptop, Phone Link can empower users to effortlessly share data wirelessly, utilizing highly convenient drag & drop file transfer without any limitation with file sizes or bandwidth.
Phone Link is developed directly by Microsoft Corporation to enable the Windows OS platform to become more unified with an important daily workflow that only happens on the screen of modern smartphone devices. By introducing comprehensive cooperation between smartphones and Windows OS, this lightweight app enables all its users to boost their productivity and remain in touch with their on-the-go messaging and data.
To get Phone Link up and running, users are required not only to install this application on their PC but also to get the app running on their android smartphone (with at least the Android 11 operating system installed) and for the device and PC to be in the same local wireless network. In order for active phone calls to be shared between PC and smartphone, the device also must be connected via Bluetooth.
Once connected, users can take full advantage of their mobile phone by managing phone calls, accessing contact lists and SMS messages, transferring photos, videos, and email attachments, freely dragging and dropping files between devices, getting mobile notifications on the desktop, and even accessing phone’s app directly on PC (this functionality is limited to select Microsoft, Samsung, and Honor Android devices).
The user interface of Phone Link is highly optimized for both traditional displays and touchscreen panels, enabling fast access to smartphone status and notifications. The main panel of the app features a tabbed interface where users can easily switch between Messages, Photos, Apps, and Calls panels, with the full support of drag & drop file transfers.
