Connect your phone to your PC

Post by Cakedaddy »

I use Phone Link that's built into Windows 10 to connect my Android phone.

I use this all of the time. I can answer/read texts. Pull pictures on/off the phone with click and drag. Add/remove files from folders. I can run apps in a virtual screen as well, but don't use this much.

I'm not sure you can connect Apple phones though. Too bad. This is VERY handy.

Apple phones connect via USB and act like a flash drive.

I just use messages.google.com for texting from my laptop.

Photos go to Google Cloud, so I can just pull them from there. Same with Google Drive.

All those different tools. Cables. That all seems very hard. Phone Link is better. :D

What's a cable? :)

Phone link is probably fine, but I started using these other things first.

That all can be done with Apple too. Just replace Google with Apple.

I still use a cable because fuck Apple's online services.
