The latest Microsoft Your Phone update will allow Samsung smartphone users to launch multiple Android applications simultaneously on their PCs. The feature is gradually rolling out to select Samsung devices as a preview. The Your Phone application was recently launched and allows users to run Android applications from their phones on their PCs. The feature is being rolled out to select Samsung devices that have Link to Windows integration. Upgrading with the new multi-app feature requires Windows 10 May 2020 Update or later.
To use the multi-app feature in the Your Phone app on PC, users must have their phones and PCs connected to the same Wi-Fi, as Microsoft announced. The Microsoft Your Phone application on your PC must be version 1.20102.132.0 or higher. Your Phone Companion app on connected Samsung devices must be version 1.20102.133.0 or higher. Users must also have Link to Windows Service version 2.1.05.2 or later.
Eligible Samsung devices that will support the feature if they are running Android 10 and have Link to Windows integration are Samsung Galaxy Note20 5G, Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G. It can also be used by Samsung devices that are enrolled in the Samsung OneUI 3.0 Beta program, running Android 11, and have Link to Windows integration, including Samsung Galaxy S20 5G, Samsung Galaxy S20 + 5G, and Samsung S20 Ultra 5G. It is available on PC for Windows Insider community users who are in the Beta, Developer or Release Preview channels.
Since it is an older version, Microsoft has noted that you may see a blank screen if some apps block the ability to cast to another screen. Some applications may also not respond to mouse or keyboard interactions, so users will have to use a touch-enabled PC. Applications that are installed in the work profile or sub profiles will not be displayed in Your phone’s application list and must be opened through the phone’s display function.
