What many Android and Windows users may not know is that their systems work better together than they think, given that they are from two very different companies. The reality is that Microsoft has been improving connectivity with Android phones for years, especially those from Samsung but also those from any other brand.
Connecting your mobile to your PC is easy, and Windows 11 comes with a dedicated app, Enlace Mobile (before you know it like Your Phone), which allows you to access it exactly to receive messages and photos stored on your smartphone. , among other things. This is one of those applications that is relatively unknown, but essential for many users.
Very soon, the connection between your PC and your Android mobile will be even better. In the latest unstable version of Windows 11, Microsoft has implemented a new feature that will allow access our mobile photos and screenshots and edit them directly and easily.
It will work very simply, since every time we take a photo or screenshot on the associated Android mobile, a new notification will appear on your computer; If we click on it we will have access to several options. We can simply see the photo on a larger screen, which is especially useful if we take photos and take the laptop with us, for example. Another option is to share the photo through Windows, for example with email.

The third option is perhaps the most interesting: it allows us edit the photo directly on the computer using the Windows Snipping Tool. Although this application started out relatively simple and just for taking screenshots, over time it becomes a fairly comprehensive photo editor that allows us to make quick edits to our photos before saving or sharing them.
Oddly enough, this feature has not been implemented in the Mobile Link app, and in fact, it replaces it; In reality, it has been implemented at the operating system level, and that is why we will have to activate it directly in the Windows settings, and it will appear in the Bluetooth and devices section.
