It even recommends changing the default browser on versions of iOS which support this. This could be considered to be a bait and switch tactic for one app to lead you to install another. Handoff for Edge it is not.Ĭaution! 'Your Phone' for Windows 10 delivers very little functionality for iOS and requires you to install a completely new browser, Microsoft Edge, on your iPhone. Really an Edge Browser bait and switch app for iPhone. Unless theres an update that improves this I cannot see how end users will be able to adopt this app as it just doesn't function well enough for example in your office, to be relied on. The Android app requires very very invasive permissions given what it needs to accomplish and it needs to be able to run in the background and wants to have you disable certain android system settings like battery management.Ī hurdle is that 'Your Phone' on Windows 10 requires very specific WiFi interoperability on your private network. The iOS single feature is hardly worth having anyway and forces you to install the Microsoft Edge browser for iOS in what you might be tempted to think is a classic example of a 'bait and switch'. Having now tried pretty hard with Windows 10 Pro 圆4 version 1909 build 18363.1256 and Android 8.1, 9, 10 and 11 and iOS 12, and iOS 14 I can confidently say this app does not work for me. That is quite a feature gap which is explained opaquely by the very first screen of the app which has a notice saying that to experience full functionality you must be running Android 7.0 or later. This will also delete corrupt files from your storage.Windows 10 Your Phone app, first screen - Your Phone animated screenshots You will then open Settings > Apps and find Your Phone Companion app and tap on Clear data and then Clear all data to clear stored cache and other files associated with the app. You will find the option under Settings > Accounts. Open the app and sign out of your Microsoft account. Let’s begin with the Your Phone Companion app on mobile. Start from scratch like you just heard of the app and want to install it. You will have to unlink both Windows and mobile apps to make this work. If nothing works, I recommend you reinstall the app.
The last step is Reset that will get you a fresh start where you will begin the setup process from scratch. You can try this but we already did this above in the troubleshooting step. The second is Repair that will try to find and fix issues with the app. Restart it to initiate the connection process again.
The first one I recommend is Terminate that will shut down the Your Phone app.
