Exciting news on theAndroidand PC front. Soon, you may be able to transfer your phone calls to your computer’s speakers usingYour Phoneapp.

Your Phone App – Smartening Up Your Smartphone

For those of you who don’t know,Your Phoneis an app that lets you transfer content between yourAndroid phoneand yourPC.

I was going to add ‘easily’ to that last sentence but having to download the app fromMicrosoft Storeonto yourPC, and another app, called Your Phone Companion, from Google Play onto your phone, makes it a lot less easy. Still, maybe I am just being picky.

Before we move on, don’t download anything until you have checked your version ofAndroid. If it isn’t 7.0 or later, you won’t be able to use Your Phone. Oh, and if you have aniPhoneand want to link it to your computer using Your Phone, sorry but you can’t either.

Originally reported on the Italian websiteAggiornamenti Lumia, the March, 2019 update, InsiderWindows 1019H1, will include a new system app called “Windows.CallingShellApp“. There is also a screenshot of a notepad file named Microsoft.Windows.CallingShellApp with a string of phone and PC speaker references such as:

From this, the rumour has started to go round that a new feature of the Your Phone app will be the ability to transfer calls from yoursmartphoneto yourWindows 10PC speakers.

Of course, as there has been no official word from Microsoft, all this is speculation. However, with the Your Phone app limited to messages and looking at photos, extending its functionality is something that Microsoft is keen on doing.
