This tutorial will show you how to have your Android phone screen turned on or off while connected to the Phone Link app for your account on a Windows 10 and Windows 11 PC.
With the Phone Link app on your PC linked to your Android phone, you can instantly access the Android apps installed on your mobile device right on your Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC. Using a Wi-Fi connection, Apps allows you to browse, play, order, chat, and more — all while using your PC’s larger screen and keyboard.
You can turn on or off to hide your Android mobile device's screen while it is connected to your Windows 10/11 PC using the Phone Link app to open apps or phone screen from your phone.
If turned off, your mobile device may be vulnerable in insecure environments.
Here's How:
1 Open the Phone Link app on your Windows 10/11 PC.
2 Click/tap on the Settings (gear) icon. (see screenshot below)
3 Click/tap on Features in the middle Settings pane.
4 Click/tap on Apps in the right Features pane to expand it open.
5 Check (on - default) or uncheck (off) Hide my mobile screen while it's connected to my PC for what you want.
If you turned off Allow Phone Link to display apps and websites from my mobile device, the Hide my mobile screen while it's connected to my PC setting will be disabled and grayed out.
That's it,
Shawn Brink
