Link your phone and PC.<\/strong>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nNow, back to your computer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\nYou should see a checkbox that says I have the Link to Windows app ready<\/strong>. Check it, and then click on Pair with QR code. <\/strong>You\u2019ll get a pop-up with a QR code.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/source><\/picture>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
You will use a QR code to link your computer and your phone. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nBack to your phone<\/strong><\/p>\n\nYou should see a box asking whether the QR code on your PC is ready. Since it is, tap Continue<\/strong> on your phone. Give Link to Windows permission to take pictures and record video.<\/li>\nScan the QR Code on the computer with your phone. It should connect.<\/li>\n Grant the app the various permissions it requests.<\/li>\n You\u2019ll be warned that staying connected may impact your battery life. Tap Continue<\/strong>, and then either allow or deny it permission to run in the background. <\/li>\nYour phone will tell you to check your computer, and your computer will tell you that you\u2019re all set.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOn your computer<\/strong><\/p>\n\nYou\u2019ll be welcomed to the app and invited to pin it to your Windows 11 taskbar. You\u2019ll then be introduced to everything you can do, such as see notifications, send text messages, view photos, or make a call.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/source><\/picture>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
You\u2019ll get a checklist of things you can do with Phone Link.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nBut you\u2019re not quite finished yet. There\u2019s just one bit of setup left, the part that allows notifications to go through.<\/p>\n
\nIf you\u2019re still in the introductory screen, you can click on See my notifications<\/strong>. Otherwise, if you\u2019re in the main Phone Link app window, you\u2019ll see Notifications in the left-hand menu; click on that. You\u2019ll be asked for permission to sync notifications.<\/li>\nClick on Open settings on phone. <\/strong>On your phone, you should have been brought to Device and app notifications<\/strong>. Find the Link to Windows app in the list and activate the toggle beside it.<\/li>\nTap Allow<\/strong> on the confirmation window that appears.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

You\u2019ll be informed of all the permissions you\u2019re permitting.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThat\u2019s it! Any notifications you get on your phone will now move into the Phone Link app. You can receive and reply to text messages, view your photos, and even make calls (as long as they are linked via Bluetooth). You can also control four features of your phone via buttons: Do Not Disturb; Bluetooth; volume on \/ off; and audio player on \/ off.<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/source><\/picture>\n
