Mobile Mirroring on PC with Your Phone

"

A compilation that opens the possibility of accessing our phone from the PC through the Your Phone application. Now you can mirror the screen of your Android-based phone directly on your PC."

This way you can access almost all the content stored in the terminal, whether they are multimedia files or even applications. To do this, you must have the most current version of the app, the one with the number 1.0.20701.0 or higher.

A utility that for now is officially limited to Samsung models (Samsung Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ ), although it is planned to be extended and apparently already supports new models.

A possibility that still presents a series of problems that must be corrected before it reaches all users.
