I used to get annoyed at connection issues, but now that those are mostly smoothed out, the lack of RCS support is a GLARING issue. Unfortunately, Phone Link only works properly if you use particular Samsung devices when it comes to RCS. All of the other multitudes of devices don't work for texting with this app, including Google phones. Which means it's useless for anything other than following your spam texts.

We’re sorry you’re having trouble with the app. Please try the following: 1. Ensure your device is connected to the same wi-fi as your PC 2. Updated to the newest Your Phone app on your PC and Your Phone Companion app on your device 3. Restart both apps on your device and PC If you still can't connect, leave feedback in the Windows Feedback Hub

Not sure what's the use since phones are mobile & PC's stationary; it's WAY more favorable getting remote access on the phone to info on the PC. This app offers the opposite. Second day thus far still hasn't set up connection properly..Ok concept, weak delivery. Back to the drawing board Microsoft.. Can't disconnect from the phone either? Nice

It's a start. Buggy and distracting, connects perfectly when I don't want it to. (Edit) Contrary to popular belief Microsoft software doesn't seem to get better. It just either keeps being bad or it gets worse. The software tells me to update the connection several times a day and I often lose messages whenever they go to my pc. It also likes to send messages super late, hours after I've sent them on the PC.
