Windows Phone Link is one of those hidden-in-plain-sight Windows features that quietly makes your workflow smoother. Once connected, your phone and PC start acting like one device instead of two competing distractions.
At the core, Phone Link brings your text messages, phone calls, notifications, and photos directly onto your computer. You can reply to texts with your keyboard (yes, emojis included), make and receive calls from your PC, and quickly access recent photos and screenshots without digging through your phone.
What really elevates the experience is control. You decide which features are active—messages only, or everything including calls and photos. Notifications can appear as banners, taskbar badges, or be silenced entirely with Do Not Disturb when focus matters.
Phone Link also includes audio controls, letting you manage music or media playing on your phone from your desktop, plus file transfer options for sending files straight to your PC. There’s even Start Menu integration to surface recent mobile content if you want it.
Simple setup, flexible controls, and real productivity gains—Phone Link turns your phone into a true PC companion. Check out my video tutorial below to see how it works…
