Microsoft announced a handful of enhancements for your Your Phone Android-to-Windows integration and app streaming back at Samsung’s unpacked event on August 5th. The changes brought tools like an app launcher to your desktop and the ability to pin apps to your taskbar and Start menu. Well, now that you can actually get a Note20 or Note20 Ultra, Microsoft has started rolling out the feature to the general public and is no longer an “Insider” exclusive.
The news comes courtesy of Microsoft’s Windows Blog. Although device compatibility still seems to be limited to Samsung phones according to official documentation, these sites have also not been updated to name one of Samsung’s latest hardware – although I would expect it to work with the Note20 Ultra you may have recently picked up.
In addition, there are some other hardware requirements, such as running a recent version of Windows 10, the latest Your Phone app (available at APK Mirror if the update has not yet hit you), and a shared Wi-Fi connection.
Microsoft notes that the outage of the feature will be slow (and apparently server-side0, so it may take a few days for it to appear. And if you have any issues, be sure to send us feedback with details). A FAQ with setup instructions is also available here, and remember that support for running multiple apps simultaneously is planned for later this year.
