Windows 11 Phone Link

I've been playing with Phone Link which is built into Windows 11. What a fantastic little App that is. I can run any Apps installed on my phone on my Desktop PC, I can transfer files & images from the phone to my PC and visa versa, send messages and make calls from my PC.

And I can run my phone screen from the PC using my keyboard and mouse to navigate. It comes in really handy when they send a message with a pass code. I can just copy/paste it into the box on the PC.

I didn't know you could do all this. I probably won't use it that often but there are times when it would come in handy.

Here is a little video I put together showing the phone screen on my PC. It's a bit jurky as I had to ensure I didn't reveal any personal information. Hence the blue patches added to obscure a few bits. I also realised the car app showed my location, so had to cut that bit out.

Well worth a little play!
