Your Phone: Smartphone background is now mirrored on the PC


Microsoft’s smartphone companion app, which is called Your Phone in English and your Smartphone in German, gets better with almost every update. The Redmond company provides the application with sometimes large, sometimes smaller features. A small but fine function has recently been tested.

Microsoft expert Rafael Rivera has drawn attention to a feature on Twitter that, while not a groundbreaking new way of interacting between smartphone and Windows 10 calculator brings with it, but undoubtedly represents a nice visual bonus.

Accordingly, it is now or soon possible to mirror the background of the smartphone on the companion app on the connected computer. The whole thing works on request, if you don’t think your smartphone wallpaper is suitable for appearing on a large screen, you can also ignore it. Alternatively, transparent “acrylic” effects can also be set.


Currently still an A / B test

This option itself should be found in the settings of your smartphone app, i.e. on the PC. More specifically, the feature is located at the point of personalization. If you don’t find anything there with which you can compare the app background with your smartphone, you shouldn’t be surprised, because the whole thing is still running as an A / B test. When this is ended and how many devices the function was activated is not known.

Microsoft introduced Your Phone and the related functionalities in spring 2018. Initially, the app only offered a few options, but in the end these have been greatly expanded. So you can now display notifications from your smartphone on your Windows 10 PC, since last December you can even make phone calls from your PC.
