Previously, it was possible to mirror the phone screen only on to a PC. Not just that, the phone screen window can be used alongside other apps on the tablet using the Multi window feature. Update your Samsung device to the recent software update in order for this connection to work. With the latest update, Samsung Flow users can now mirror their phone screen on to their Galaxy tablets. They did promise that they will be adding more devices over the next few months and hopefully, that will eventually include non-Samsung Android phones as well.īut if your phone is one of those listed above, then you will be able to enjoy the Your Phone mirroring through the Link to Windows option which connects them over Wi-Fi. Microsoft is advising users to unpair the devices so that you don’t have a connection that will no longer work anyway. If the phone model you’re using now isn’t any of these devices, then once you update to the Windows Insider build, the Your Phone node will disappear. The problem with this latest development is that now, there is a limited number of devices that can use the Your Phone companion app since the Link to Windows is still in early development and may be limited to Samsung devices for now. That seems to be the default connection option right now. Microsoft has been working with Samsung to develop the Link to Windows feature so you can connect the two devices through Wi-Fi. And so with the latest update to the Windows Insider build, they have dropped support for screen mirroring over BLE. However, as we all know by now, Bluetooth isn’t always as reliable when it comes to connectivity.

Having your phone connect with your computer using BLE allowed for more compatible devices.
