    The Phone Link app (called “Link to Windows” in the iOS version) significantly enhances smartphone keyboarding by wirelessly bridging a smartphone mobile device with a desktop or laptop Windows computer, effectively relegating the use of a smartphone’s cumbersome, error-prone keyboard to situations only where a computer keyboard is unavailable. So long as a user’s smartphone is connected to a Bluetooth-activated Windows PC, the Phone Link app enables awesome functionality and convenience.

    Why avail yourself of Phone Link? Instead of slowly and painstakingly typing via your smartphone’s virtual keyboard, all the while frustrated while striving to input text with minimal typos, using Phone Link enables you to type on the user-friendly, physical, real keyboard of your Windows computer. Similarly, your compact smartphone screen will be transformed into an easily viewable, full-size image on your Windows desktop or laptop screen. Interestingly, the Phone Link app can wirelessly connect your smartphone to your PC even without removing your smartphone from your pocket or briefcase.

    Establishing this link between your iOS or Android mobile device and your Windows PC affords you convenient access to apps, enabling receiving and sending voice calls, reading and replying to text messages, viewing photos, and invoking every other app installed on your mobile device.

    The Phone Link app can be downloaded via the Google Play Store or the Samsung Galaxy Store; the Link to Windows app can be downloaded via the Apple App Store.
