The Phone Link app on your Windows PC let's you get instant access to everything you love on your phone, right from your PC. Link your Android phone and PC to view and reply to text messages, make and receive calls, and more - all right on your PC.
The Phone Link experience starts on your PC with Windows 10 or Windows 11 and the Phone Link app. From your PC you can connect to select Android and Samsung devices with these two apps:
- Your Phone Companion (YPC) app for most Android devices
- Link to Windows (LTW) app preinstalled on Surface Duo and selected Samsung phones
This tutorial will show you how to unlink an Android phone from a Windows 11 PC.
Unlinking your Android Phone from your Windows 11 PC will not unlink the Android Phone from your Microsoft account.
