Your Microsoft phone has a feature to control your phone settings

The Microsoft Your Phone app makes it easy to connect your Android device to your PC. It’s great for answering text messages, making and receiving calls, and more. And the experience will get even better, with the arrival of a new feature that will add device indicators to control your phone’s settings.

According to ALumia, Microsoft is preparing to release an update to the Your Phone app that will allow users to turn features on and off on their phones, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Do Not Disturb. Previously, users could see if these features were active, but could not interact with them.

“Here, this feature will be introduced soon by the Your Phone team, who have been working in recent months to introduce the new feature called ‘Indicator Management’.” ALumia mentionned. “How does it work? As soon as you receive this function, the Your phone application will show you under the image of your smartphone four new buttons that will allow you to activate or deactivate bluetooth, ringtone / vibration, audio player ( for music) and Do not disturb mode with a single click, without necessarily having to keep your smartphone at hand.

The metrics feature is expected to be rolled out to users gradually, so be on the lookout for over the next few weeks. For those who see it (v1.21012.195.0+), controlling your phone from your PC is about to get a lot easier.

Microsoft has brought a lot of useful features to the Your Phone app over the past few months. The app introduced the ability to run multiple Android apps on some devices in November. Prior to that, another feature was being tested that introduced a “sent from phone” option to share links, images, and notes.
