Microsoft has extended the screen mirroring capabilities ofWindows 10’s Your Phone app. Android users can use this amazingfeatureto mirror the screen more phones directly to their Windows systems. For the time being, thisfeatureis limited to Windows Insiders.

Previously, the original version of theappsupported Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+, S9, and S9+ models. Vishnu Nath, Director of Program Management at Microsoft Mobile Experiences confirmed in a recentTweet that Your Phone app now supports more devices.

It should be noted that thisfeatureis available to those Windows 10 devices that supportthe Bluetooth Peripheral role. We can see that right now the only available device that meets this requirement is theSurface Go.

In response to atweetthat inquired about the possibility of expanding the service toadditional devices apart from Surface Go, Nath explained:

Currently it is onlyPCsthat support BT Peripheral role which does include Surface Go. We are actively working very hard to aggressively expand this on thePCside.

He confirmed that his team are working to support more Android devices in future.

Moreover, Huawei, Sony and LG phone users are still wondering that if the company is working on bringing thefeatureto their phones.One of the users reported in response to the original tweet that thisappkeeps on disconnecting again and again for no reason.

I really want to love thisappbut have a hard time keeping it connected consistently. Will connect for a short time, disconnect for no reason, and there doesn’t seem to be a reason it reconnects. Using a 6T, just providing feedback.

Another Twitter user wants to know when theappwill offerfull MMS texting support. Another user is afraid that the developers will end up skipping most of the devices that are currently not available in the US market.
