If you want to use your Galaxy phone seamlessly with your PC, Samsung has an app for that. Appropriately, this app is called Galaxy Connect, and it acts as a bridge between your phone, tablet, and computer. It has long been hampered by a limitation that prevents some people from using cross-device tools. However, that limit is now gone after the latest update.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nWhen the Galaxy Connect app was introduced, it was designed as a cross-device application for Samsung’s own ecosystem. As a result, you’ll need a Galaxy Book laptop, in addition to your Galaxy phone, to take advantage of this integration. However, the tech giant has released an update that opens the door to this walled garden.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nIn the changelog of version 2.1.6.0, Samsung has announced that it is bringing its Continuity layer to non-Galaxy Book PCs. Although you’ll be able to use the experience on more Windows computers, there are still some limitations. The app will only work with PCs that are running Windows 11. Additionally, the app is only supported on Intel- or AMD-based x64 PCs, so ARM-based PCs are still not available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
