Streaming Android apps from your phone to your Windows 11 PC just got easier (if you're lucky enough to have the right phone)

Link to Windows on Samsung Galaxy Fold 6.

What you need to know

  • Streaming apps from your Samsung smartphone to your PC just got much easier.
  • Samsung phones running One UI 6.1.1 no longer require you to press a button every single time you want to stream and app to your PC through Phone Link.
  • Starting with Android 14, Phone Link required a button press every time you wanted to stream an app due to a change made to improve the operating system's security.
  • It appears Phone Link / Link to Windows now uses a different method to stream apps, which gives you the option to always allow app streaming.
