Microsoft announced a slew of new hardware and software updates on Tuesday, but one piece of news stuck out.
You can now link your Android phone to your Windows 10 PC to send and receive text messages, and also view and transfer photos from your Android phone.
It’s Microsoft’s move to create much needed compatibility between your Android phone and Windows 10 PC, much like the existing compatibility between Apple’s computers and iPhones that helped make the Apple ecosystem so popular.
The feature involves an app called “Your Phone” for both your Android phone and Windows 10 PC, and it links both devices together over WiFi to show you photos and messages from your Android phone to your PC.
To get this feature, you’ll need to update Windows 10 with the October 2018 update (build 1809).
See how to set up and use the new Android and Windows 10 linking feature:
