Overview
- Microsoft says the feature is rolling out gradually to Windows 11 Insiders, enabling copied content on a PC to appear on a linked Android phone via Phone Link.
- Setup requires the Link to Windows app on Android, both devices signed into the same Microsoft account, the 'Access PC's clipboard' toggle enabled, and clipboard history turned on in Windows.
- Early tests report near‑instant transfer from PC to phone, with items placed in the Android system clipboard and visible in Gboard and Samsung Keyboard.
- The current implementation works one way only, allowing Windows‑to‑Android pasting but not Android‑to‑Windows, and it is not yet generally available.
- Reporters note the effort builds on Microsoft's cross‑device push and is frequently compared with Apple's Universal Clipboard as the usability benchmark.
