How to make and receive calls on your PC with the Your Phone app

Microsoft’s Your Phone app for Android can route photos, incoming notifications, and text messages to your Windows 10 PC. Its latest feature update added something even more useful: the ability to make and receive calls on your PC without reaching for your phone. The app can even let you seamlessly transfer calls between your PC and phone in case you need to go mobile.

Getting things set up isn’t difficult, although there are a few requirements to note before you dive into the steps below.

You’ll need a PC (any kind, desktop or laptop, x64 or ARM-based) running Windows 10 version 1803 or higher and any phone running Android version 7.0 or higher.

To get your Android phone and PC talking to each other, you’ll need the app installed on both devices.
