It's taken like 5 years for this app to be usable. But finally it works. Let's you control calls and messages via PC, share your phone screen to PC, even run an app on your PC while doing other things on your phone. However it does seem to get weird sometimes if one device is on 5ghz and the other is on 2.4ghz. could use a fix there. It's come a long way.

Sorry you’re having trouble connecting. Please retry the setup process:
1. Ensure your device is connected to the same wi-fi as your PC
2. Update to the newest Your Phone app on your PC and Your Phone Companion app on your device
3. Restart both apps on your device and PC
If you still can't connect, leave feedback from the settings menu.

Sometimes it sends a text, sometimes it doesn't. Still needs work but has some nice features. Irritating when I think I sent something and find out later it never happened. So the Dewberry suggested I update the app, and it did indicate it needed to be updated. So I will see later if that remedied the disconnect , which in all likelihood it did.

Please note that this maybe a data syncing issue. Make sure you have updated Phone Link and Link To Windows to the latest versions and the battery saver is turned off on both your PC and mobile device. Also note that sometimes, battery optimization settings on your phone may cause issues with your connection. Turn this off and restart your PC.

Looked like a great app until I found out about the amount of data (text messages, clipboard contents, recent photos, and notifications) that is transmitted to Microsoft's servers for something one would assume is transferred over the local connection to the PC. Not for the privacy conscious, I do not recommend using this app.
