#Microsoft Phone Link

Microsoft has started rolling out an upgraded Android app mirroring experience on Windows 11, allowing users to view Android apps using nearly the entire desktop screen through the Phone Link app. Expanded screen support is included in Phone Link version 1.25112.36.0 and is now available to all users with supported Android devices. Once enabled, Phone Link prompts the connected phone to relaunch the selected Android app in a wider layout, which is then streamed to the PC. Alongside this update, Microsoft has also introduced other Phone Link enhancements, including the ability to lock a Windows PC remotely from an Android phone, improved file sharing, and background clipboard syncing across devices. Microsoft has just announced that they will soon bring Windows Phone Link for iOS users on Windows 11 by first releasing an early preview. Insiders who get to experience the preview will see an option to select iPhone on the Phone Link homepage and be directed to the setup process. Features of the new preview of iOS support on Phone Link will see Insiders being able to receive messages via iMessage, make and receive calls, and view their iPhone's notifications from their Windows laptop or PC. The iOS Phone Link support is the latest in Microsoft's part of its ongoing efforts to bring Windows and Apple devices closer together.
