Microsoft intros new features for better PC and phone interaction

Microsoft has announced new tools during their Microsoft Build 2018 Conference for seamless interaction between the user’s PC and mobile device.

First up is the Your Phone application for Windows 10 which links your phone and Windows 10 PC. With the app, you can send web pages from your phone instantly to your PC and continue what you’re doing-read, watch, or browse with all the benefits of a bigger screen. You will also be able to access your phone’s text messages, photos, and notifications straight from your PC.

Next is Timeline support for Android and iOS. Timeline, as the name suggests, tracks the apps you use on your PC and gives you a visual summary of your recent activities. Microsoft brings this feature to Android via the update Microsoft Launcher, and iOS via Microsoft Edge. If you use the same apps on your phone and desktop, such as Skype or Outlook, you will see the activities on both devices.
