The Your Phone experience starts on your PC with Windows 10 or Windows 11 and the Your Phone app. From your PC, you can connect to select Android and Samsung devices with these two apps:
- Your Phone Companion (YPC) app for most Android devices.
- Link to Windows (LTW) app preinstalled on selected Samsung phones.
- You’ll see these names combined as Your Phone Companion – Link to Windows in the Google Play Store and in the Galaxy Store. In the Microsoft Store, you’ll see Your Phone. This link between your device and PC gives you instant access to everything you love. Read and reply to text messages with ease, view recent photos from your Android device, use your favorite mobile apps, make and receive calls, and manage your Android device’s notifications right on your PC.
- The Your Phone app requires the following to work:
- A PC running Windows 10 April 2018 Update or later. If you're currently running the April 2018 Update, you will need to install the Your Phone app from the Microsoft Store. Any Windows version after the April 2018 Update will have the app preinstalled.
- An Android device running Android 7.0 (Nougat) or above.
