One of Microsoft's most popular applications is Your Phone. A tool to access different functions of the mobile without having to divert attention from the PC thanks to the application Companion of your Phone, which is the one that is installed on the mobile from Google Play.
And for now, only Android-based phones allow access to a possibility that we recently saw how it was updated by adding the possibility of reading and sending messages in PiP mode from the PC as the last addition . And now it receives an improvement again, perhaps not so flashy, but very useful.
The status bar on the PC
And it is that Your Phone will begin to show on the PC information regarding the status of the line and the coverage that our telephone operator offers at all times. The same information that appears in the mobile bar but now on the PC.
Among the indicators and next to the signal strength indicator, there is information about battery life, Wi-Fi status, Bluetooth connectionand whether or not do not disturb mode is active. It has been the user @ flobo09 on Twitter, who has echoed this improvement.
For now, the arrival of indicators, which also show information in real time, is being limited and only some members of the Insider Program have access to it A preview of what may be coming to the general release in the coming weeks.
Remember that to use the app Your Phone you must meet a series of requirements: on the one hand, use a PC that runs at least Windows 10 April 2018 Update or later and a phone running Android 7.0 (Nougat) or later.
