Windows 10 Your Phone for Android (Image Credit: Russell Smith) Your Phone bridges the gap for SMS messaging.

For instance, WhatsApp and Facebook messenger both have apps or can be used in a browser. But if you are mainly accessing Internet messaging services, the chances are there is an app you can use on your PC. That will rather depend on how much you use your phone for actual calling. Microsoft claims that Your Phone will allow you to leave your device in your pocket. There’s no such limitation with Your Phone. But the main issue is that Cortana is only available in some regions, meaning that half the planet is excluded. Not that it matters because nobody is using that platform anymore. It also works with Windows 10 Mobile but is unreliable. To be honest, I couldn’t muster any enthusiasm to look at it because this isn’t Microsoft’s first attempt at integrating SMS messaging with Windows and I’m tired of half-baked new features for the sake of a marketing win.Īs a reminder, Cortana can read and reply to SMS messages on Android providing that Cortana is installed on your phone. Remember, minimizing the Your Phone app during the drag and drop process will cancel the transfer and you’ll need to start from scratch again.The Your Phone app debuted in Windows 10 version 1809, which was released in October 2018.
