Not a good experience. I have to re-register the phone every time I want to link to the computer. For some reason it doesn't save the settings either on the phone or on the computer. Unable to use until this is fixed. Already tried the latest version of the app on the phone and on Win 10. Immensely disappointing that it doesn't reconnect unless I force close the Your Phone app on the computer. But thank you for replying back. 2024 update: getting better. never once had a disconnection anymore!

On your android device, the app is already built in. Make sure the Your Phone app on your PC and your phone is updated to the latest version, your devices are on the same Wi-Fi and sign in with the same account to ensure the most reliable connection. Is Battery saver running on your devices? https://aka.ms/setupltw.If issues, submit feedback in app

Not only does this app exceed it's own novelty with it's convenience but it can be a lifesaver when your screen is broken and blacked out. I unfortunately did not have this app when I broke my S24 a week after buying it. I set so many alarms on that phone and was unable to see them and turn them off. Same with turning the phone off. I had to wait for the battery to die which is crazy work when the phone is barely using any power because of its inability to function. This app is a must have.

I got this to transfer files from my PC to my phone easily, however it appears I cannot do so until I give permissions to view all of my text messages, notifications, phone calls, etc. Why would I ever want to to call from my PC instead of my phone? Forcing someone to give all these permissions for absolutely useless features before they can use the feature they actually want is ridiculous. I get that Microsoft wants to harvest all my data, but at least make it less obtrusive.
