Can't connect now unless I give permission for connecting over mobile data even though I'm on the same WIFI. Windows just finding more and more ways to constantly have access to our data, at a PC or not. Not to mention it gives you a DOUBLE notification every 5 minutes that it's connected. I'm aware it's connected. Stop wasting my battery and time for me to look that it's still connected. Amazing. It's almost like I don't need to be reminded, same as all my other devices don't.

I can't link to my laptop at all untill a major software update on my phone where it integrates the app (becomes a system app) into my phone. Anyways, it's good, I can screen mirroring my phone very easily, plus a minor support of games where I can use WASD keys to move in some games. I can see my photos right away, and see notifications on my phone through this. I would say, it's a great app. Still, this is not possible if the app was not integrated into my phone before the software update.

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
