I have been using Link for a couple of years now, and absolutely love how it syncs data, messages and allows for camera passthrough to my win11 PC. The app was pretty bad at the start, but it became a lot more stable over time showing microsofts investment into this system. I would love a screen-mirror function though, to control my phone using Link. My main issue is with Calls, the quality just isn't great and people on the other side always complain about the low quality.

Still complete FAILURE. Windows 10 - Android 11. Had to search for the dual installation process through both Google Play and Windows Settings. Then back & forth through an MS-account and permissions on the phone. But I ended up with NOTHING. Nothing of the limited functionality worked, I just kept empty screens. Still looking for easy ways to synchronise Outlook calendar (NO, not through cloud!) and contacts. File transfer through direct USB-connection is still my only option.

I’d like to provide some feedback on the Link to windows app. While I appreciate the convenience of synchronizing my PC and mobile device, I often find that file sharing between the two takes longer than expected. It would be great to see improvements in the sharing speed between paired devices to enhance the overall user experience. Thank you!
