Microsoft’s Android app can route photos, incoming notifications, and text messages to your Windows 10 PC. Its latest update feature added something even more useful: the ability to make and receive calls to your PC without reaching your phone.

You’ll need an app installed on both devices to get your Android phone and PC talking to each other.

Download it to your phone from the Google Play Store

Download the Find Your Phone app from the Microsoft Store for your PC.

Make sure you sign in with a Microsoft account on your PC.

When the app is installed on your phone, open it and sign in to your Microsoft account.

Note that you will need to agree to give it permission to access your contacts, phone call log, media, and text messages, and to keep it running in the background.
