The Microsoft Your Phone app now supports multiple Android apps on your Windows 10 PC

The Microsoft Your Phone app allows you to use and interact with your smartphone through your Windows 10 PC. With it, you can make calls, send text messages and receive smartphone notifications on your PC. Some Samsung smartphones also have extra features, thanks to a growing partnership between Microsoft and Samsung.

One of these specific Samsung features is the ability to mirror Android apps on a Windows 10 PC through the Your Phone app. After recent updates, several Samsung phones can now run multiple Android applications on a PC via their phone.

Here is the list of compatible phones, as found on the Microsoft support page:

• Samsung Galaxy Fold
• Samsung Galaxy Note20 5G
• Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G
• Samsung Galaxy S20
• Samsung Galaxy S20 +
• Samsung Galaxy S20 FE
• Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip
• Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G
• Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G

This list does not include any of the new Samsung Galaxy S21 devices. Nor does it include Microsoft’s own Surface Duo.

A support page other than Microsoft lists some recommendations and minimum requirements for using various applications through your phone:

• A PC running Windows 10 May 2020 or later update. For best performance, we recommend having at least 8 GB of RAM.
• An Android device running Android 11.0.
• On your Android device, you need Link to Windows version 2.1.05.6 or higher or Your Phone Companion version 1.20104.15.0 or higher.
• Versions 1.20104.20.0 or higher on your phone.

• The Windows YouTube channel shared a video featuring Your phone last week. One of the features he highlights is the ability to run multiple Android applications on one PC at the same time.
