We’ve polished the design of Phone Link on your PC by updating the app’s interface to complement Microsoft’s Windows 11 design language. With that, we're introducing Microsoft Phone Link as the PC app experience, and Link to Windows as our mobile app for Android devices. Our latest evolution brings a new name to unify the experience for all our users. Over the course of this journey, we’ve carefully listened to your feedback and we’ve used it to continue evolving our app experiences. Since then, we’ve embarked on bringing all the important capabilities and content from your Android phone to your Windows PC. On March 31, 2022, Your Phone was rebranded to Phone Link.It’s been an exciting journey since we first announced the Your Phone and Your Phone Companion apps back in October 2018. The feature was made available for all Android phones on February 20, 2020.
