Once that’s done, you will be able to connect your PC and your phone. What are the features of the Your Phone app?Īfter completing the download for the Your Phone app, the next step is to complete an installation process and follow the steps that appear on the screen. In addition to this, users may also need to download a companion app so that they can check their phone, explore media files, and respond to alerts without facing any trouble. Users should note that the application only works on devices running Android 7.0+. Once you download the Your Phone application on your Windows computer, you will need to spend some time configuring the settings and connecting your Android phone to your PC. However, this functionality is limited to a few handsets, and users may have to wait a while before this feature is available across all other Android devices. According to Microsoft, the developer of the tool, users can also use Your Phone to respond to text messages and answer and decline calls. The Your Phone app is very similar to a mirroring software because it lets users explore all the content available on their phone, check messages, and respond to notifications. If they send some of my data over the internet but promise not to look at it, that is not the same thing to me as not sending it in the first place.What can users expect from the Your Phone app? What I want to know is if they transmit any of my phone (or PC's.) data over the internet in the first place, or whether all data stays local to my network. In particular, "relying" on local connections and not "storing" it on Microsoft's servers is not the same thing as "never sending data over the internet" to begin with. When disconnected there is no maintained data, but rather a local cache on the user's PC for some items. Your Phone relies on local connections through Wi-Fi (the iPhone also needs Bluetooth), but the system never takes your data and stores it on Microsoft's servers. This page claims the following, but I find it unsatisfactory: It makes me wonder about the privacy implications. It requires a Microsoft account, but I don't really see why that should be necessary for a local connection between my phone and my computer. I'm trying to decide whether or not to use the Your Phone app on Windows, and not finding much information on it.
