Link to Windows features

Link to Windows lets you view and reply to SMS and MMS directly on your PC. You can keep up with chats and send emojis, GIFs, and media files without unlocking your phone. This reduces interruptions while you work. As conversations update, messages stay in sync between the phone and the computer.

Next, you can place and answer phone calls from your computer. Call history appears on the PC so recent numbers are easy to find. For calling to work, ensure Bluetooth is enabled and connected on both devices. This approach keeps voice tasks in one place during busy moments.

You can see, pin, and dismiss Android notifications from your PC. Customize which apps may alert you, then enable Do Not Disturb to pause nonessential messages. This helps you triage alerts quickly without reaching for the phone. Important notices remain visible while less urgent ones can be muted.

Link to Windows provides instant access to your latest photos. You can drag and drop images into emails, documents, or other apps, or copy and paste when needed. This is useful when building a slide deck or sending an update. Transfers happen directly between devices without cables.

Finally, open and interact with favorite mobile apps on your computer. Use keyboard, mouse, or touch to control your phone experience from the desktop. On select Samsung, HONOR, and Surface Duo devices, deeper integration enables features such as Phone screen, Apps, cross device copy and paste, and file drag and drop.
