Android users who are part of the Windows Insider program are lucky because the company has started to test the operation of “Your Phone”, an experimental application that allows very intuitive access to the images and screenshots of our Android smartphone from the PC.
Although there are dozens of third-party tools that allow us to access mobile phone photos from our computer, the main difference is the simplicity and speed with which “Your Phone” allows us to work with the pictures on our phone. If you have paired both devices, simply open “Your phone” and you will see the latest pictures you have taken with your mobile phone without having to connect the device. In addition, we can drag and drop them directly into any other application, such as Word or PowerPoint.
And the best thing about it is that we can not only access our photos later but that with “Your Phone” we can also retrieve our notifications and messages from our computer so that we can call “Your Phone” a kind of mirroring tool for mobile content on the computer. The company announced a few months ago that it was working on this feature, although it has not yet started to allow users of the Windows Insider program to use it.
As the company says, it will be necessary to have a smartphone with Android version 7.0 or higher. In addition, “Your Phone” will support iOS, although the features will be much more limited. Finally, we would like to point out that the Windows 10 update will be officially available in autumn.
