On Windows 10 PCs, users will be notice a desktop pin that will take them directly to the ‘Your Phone' app for swift and easy access to images and other content in their smartphone.
“For iPhone users, Your Phone app helps you to link your phone to your PC. Surf the web on your phone, then send the webpage instantly to your computer to pick up where you left off to continue what you’re doing–read, watch, or browse with all the benefits of a bigger screen. With a linked phone, continuing on your PC is one share away,” the company said in a statement.
