Microsoft has today announced in a new tweet that the calling feature in its ‘Your Phone’ app is now available on all Android devices running Android 7.0 and above. The roll out comes months after the company first started testing out calling features within the app in beta.
Thank you #WindowsInsiders for your feedback over the last couple of months. Today, we’re pleased to announce the general availability of the #YourPhone app Calls feature, which allows you to receive and make phone calls on your PC: https://t.co/m47kLcXgbS pic.twitter.com/4GuIOXjR71
With the new update, all Android users should technically be able to pair their phones with their Windows 10 PC and make phone calls via their computers thanks to the Your Phone app. The feature is very reminiscent of the way continuity and handoff works between macOS and iOS devices in the Apple ecosystem. That’s something Android and Windows lacks, and with this app, the Redmond giant is definitely hoping to get a similar functionality within its operating system as well.
