Moreover, you can access your favorite Android apps on your Windows PC, thanks to its support for mirroring your mobile screen, like AirDroid. You can make and receive calls as well as check and reply to messages (even messaging services) and notifications. It functions mostly like AirDroid, so you get to access almost everything on your smartphone from your Windows PC. Your Phone Companion is an app from Microsoft to link Android to Windows 10. Platforms supported: Windows, macOS, and Linux. Also, it lets you transfer files, remote-control Android, and do a lot more.

You can place calls, send messages, and reply to the message notifications from your computer. AirDroid lets you surprisingly mirror or receive calls, messages, and app notifications on your large screen of the PC or Mac.
