[Software] Microsoft brings the Android dial menu to Windows 10 PCs

[Angrry.exe™]

 

Soon, we will be able to access the Android agent and dial menu directly from the PC, answering calls without taking our phone out of our pocket.

The newly added functionality in the Your Phone app could be especially useful for those who spend a lot of time in front of the PC, pre-equipped with a microphone or bluetooth headset suitable for voice calls.

Already included with the latest version of Windows 10 Preview (build 18362.356), the application requires the use of a PC equipped with a bluetooth connection to provide full functionality:

Option to answer calls received on your mobile phone from your PC

Make calls in front of your PC using the call menu or contact list synchronized with your mobile phone

Possibility of forwarding unwanted calls to your voicemail, or rejection followed by sending a predefined text message (eg I can't answer now)

Access the recent call list from your PC, with the possibility to pick up the phone number in the call menu

Ability to transfer calls between PC and phone without interrupting the conversation

In addition to the latest version of Windows 10 installed on the PC, the mobile phone must also run at least the Android 7 Nougat version, together with the Your Phone Companion application installed for free from the Google Play store.
