With the leaps and bounds that technology gives us, it is normal that we can combine multiple devices simultaneously so as not to lose any detail of their activities, that is why Microsoft has integrated a new utility called “Tu phone â€which will allow us to synchronize a large part of the actions that are executed in Android directly in Windows 10 such as the reception of notifications , messages, calls and more..
When installing and configuring this functionality of Windows 10 , we will be able to access content such as photos, text messages and many more mobile settings directly on our Windows 10 computer , this will prevent access to two computers constantly which It can translate into time savings.
To use correctly, Android 7.0 or later is required for everything to work as expected since when the Android phone is linked to Windows 10 if we receive any message or notification we can see it in a dedicated space on the screen for this purpose .
Today TechnoWikis will explain how to link your Android phone to Windows 10 and enjoy this new functionality..
