Microsoft is improving Windows 11 with a dedicated Phone Link panel in the start menu for easier management of Android devices.
The new panel allows quick access to phone status, messages, calls, photos, and recent activity directly from the start menu.
It includes a 'send files' button for seamless file transfers, shortcuts to the main Phone Link app, and relevant settings.
To control an Android phone from a Windows PC, users can utilize Microsoft's Phone Link by setting up the Phone Link app on the PC and downloading the Link to Windows companion app on the Android phone.
