I have discovered the greatest app for linking your iPhone or Android device to a Windows, Mac, or Linux computer
Currently, in the Microsoft Store, you can find the Mobile Link application to access your smartphone from your PC. This application is somewhat limited, and we want to offer you a more complete version, the KDE Connect application, which offers many possibilities.
This application is open source, and hence it is completely free. The interesting thing about this application is that the communication is two-way. Thanks to this application, we can monitor and control the smartphone from the computer and vice versa.
If you want to use this application, you should know that you can download it from. Google Play Store, App Store, and Microsoft Store. We can also download it for MacOS, Windows, and Linux computers from the official application page. So we can use it on any device without major problems.
We will walk you through the process of installing it on your devices and pairing them. It's very simple:
Download it on the two devices you will be connecting to. In our case, a Windows PC and an Android smartphone.
Once we open the app on both devices, phone and computer, our devices will appear. We will see how the Android device appears in the Windows app and vice versa.
We click on both sides on the device we want to connect. We clicked on pairing on Windows, then we clicked on pairing on Android.
The “Required Link” will appear with the password and the option to “Accept” or "Deny.". Obviously, we will click on the “Accept” option.
Now we should see on both sides that they are connected and that there are a lot of possible options.
There are many options that appear, such as sending files, remote presentation, sending to clipboard, multimedia control, and others. But some features require additional permissions, which is great for security.
The application allows us to make a lot of different configurations and adjustments. In both the smartphone and Windows versions, we can easily adjust the settings to use the application.
It is a very easy-to-use application and offers great versatility. Even in the three dots in the upper right corner, on our smartphone, we can click on "Unlink.".
