Microsoft announced a new feature for Windows 10 today that will let Android phone users view and use any app on their device from a Windows desktop. The feature, which Microsoft is referring to as app mirroring and shows up in Windows as an app called Your Phone, seems to be work best with Android for now. Although Microsoft did announce the ability to transfer webpages from an iPhone to a Windows 10 desktop so you can pick up where you left off on mobile.
Regardless, the Your Phone app looks to be a significant step in helping bridge Windows 10 and the mobile ecosystem after the demise of Windows Phone. The news was announced at the company’s Surface hardware event in New York City this afternoon.
