Do you want to be able to access your Android smartphone’s SMS messages, photos, calls, notifications, and more, directly from your PC? Well, with the built-in Your Phone app on Windows 10, you can do just that. Microsoft’s Your Phone app brings integration between Android and Windows, enabling users to share data between their phone and PC with ease.

This feature is exclusive to Android smartphones, meaning if you use an iPhone, you cannot take advantage of the Your Phone app on Windows 10. This is because Apple limits what kind of information third-party developers like Microsoft can access. Android is a much more open platform, and as such, can integrate with the Your Phone app. With that out of the way, here’s how to get Your Phone set up.

How to set up Your Phone for Windows 10

To begin, you’ll need to download the Your Phone Companion app on your Android smartphone. Keep in mind; some Samsung smartphones may already have the Your Phone Companion (branded Link To Windows) preinstalled. If so, to open the Your Phone Companion app, head toSettings > Advanced settings > Link to Windowsand then follow our guide from step 3.

You can now begin enabling and configuring the different settings inside the Your Phone app on your PC and phone. That’s all there is to it!
