Your Phone app from Microsoft

Just got my Samsung Note 8 connected to my notebook using the Your Phone app from Microsoft.  Limited use.  Can only view recent photos (25 in number), phone text messages and phone notifications.

The mobile photos can be easily moved to my notebook.  Simply Copy and Paste.

Give it a try.

However I prefer new DeX feature available from Samsung Note 10.  A feature a just discovered from YouTube and from the Samsung website.  Wonder when I can afford a new Note 10!!
