It’s a «window» that gives you quick access to your pictures and notifications, and it allows you to send and receive text messages. It all happens wirelessly and without you having to unlock your phone.

How to fix connection errors with Your Phone

If you’re getting the «We can’t connect to your phone» message on your computer, then it means that something is preventing the connection between the two devices.

Here’s a list of obvious (and not so obvious) things that you can try to get your PC connected with your Android phone:

Verify network connectivity

Your computer and phone won’t connect unless the two devices can communicate. On your mobile device, swipe down from the top, and confirm that it’s connected to the same wireless network as the computer you’re trying to connect.

Also, you should make sure that your computer can connect to the internet. (If you can load a web page on the web browser, then your device is connected.)

Disable blocking features

If you’re still unable to connect, then it could be a feature blocking the connection. On your phone and computer make sure that airplane mode is disabled.

On Android, use these instructions to disable Airplane mode:

1. Open Notifications.
2. Tap the Airplane mode button to turn it off.

On Windows 10, use these instructions to disable Airplane mode:

1. In the bottom-right corner of the taskbar, click the Network icon.
2. Turn off the Airplane mode button.

Once you’ve completed the steps, re-launch the app, set up the experience one more time, and this time, it should connect to your Android device.

Information you need to know about Your Phone

While the above troubleshooting steps can help to fix most problems setting up the Your Phone app, the experience is still a work in progress, which means that some features and functionalities are limited or they’re yet to be implemented.

You won’t see all your pictures

For instance, to reduce network usage and optimize performance, the Your Phone app only shows the 25 recent images from your Android device.

In addition, only the images within the «Camera Roll» and «Screenshots» folders will be available. If you’re saving pictures on a different location, they won’t appear on your desktop app.

Missing photos and videos from text messages

The Your Phone app is still a work in progress, and at the time of this writing, it doesn’t include support for viewing or sending media in MMS messages. (In future updates, Microsoft is expected to bring this functionality.)

Inconsistent incoming text notifications

When using the Your Phone app, you’ll notice that only some of the notifications for incoming text messages, but not for all of them. The reason is that when you close or minimize the app, there’s a delay before text notifications appear in Action Center.

It’s expected that this behavior will improve over time, but in the meantime, you can check all your incoming text using the Your Phone app directly.
