Your Phone, the Windows application that allows you to connect an Android smartphone to a PC will soon display in the Windows notification area, a window allowing you to quickly open on your computer, the applications recently used on your Android smartphone.
It was during the Samsung Unpacked 2022 event during which the Galaxy S22 and S22+ and S22+ Ultra were unveiled that the feature was unveiled.
However, do not expect to enjoy it with all Android smartphones. Like many of the functions offered in Your Phone, this one will be reserved for Samsung smartphones only, with which Microsoft entered into a partnership a few years ago.
Most of the functionality on the app works with all Android phones. Some features, like this one, require a deeper level device/OS integration and we worked directly with Samsung to make this possible.

And the reason is very simple. “While most of Your Phone’s functions work with all Android devices, some require a greater level of integration between the operating system and the smartphone” explains following his first tweet, Analy Otero Diaz, Principal Program Manager Lead at Microsoft, before concluding “we worked directly with Samsung to make this possible”.
