Doesn't hardly work. I can pair it initially, sure. But trying to reconnect later on just doesn't happen. I'm on the same Wi-Fi, and have the apps open but nothing. Then a QR code eventually comes up to reconnect, only to be told it's invalid by this app and kicked back to the opening screen. This whole setup is just garbage. I'm connected via Bluetooth too, you would think it would use that if available... And to make it worse, there's no way to manually remove a device either.

To resolve this, first make sure Link To Windows is up to date and open it your phone. Click on your Microsoft account name under Linked Account. Go to Account Settings > Sign out and unlink account. On your PC, go to Phone Link > Settings > Devices > Add new device. Follow the on-screen steps to pair your Android mobile device with your PC.

Love when it works. Disconnects frequently, sometimes won't send a message for no apparent reason. Refuses to reconnect even if you delete the device & reconnect from scratch. Wait some random amount of time, try again - voilà. What changed? Other sync features are great too. Idea of this app is quite useful but I wouldn't risk my business depending on it. Gonna say no to the file sharing question from the app store. It does'ish but if it doesn't work can you really call it a feature?

I have reinstalled windows 11 on my 2 PCs, one main, one backup. The problem is that I have now 2 occurrences of each PC on the list of linked computers,i.e. 4, the "old" connections and the "new" ones. As a result, the Phone Link app on my PC is dysfunctional. Looking at my phone linked computers, it is erratically connecting and disconnecting between old and new connections. I thought about deleting the old connections on the mobile app Link to Windows, but there are no possibility to do so!
