As part of Samsung’s ongoing efforts to improve connectivity between computers and mobile devices, Microsoft Phone Link’s new “Recent Websites” feature is now available on Galaxy smartphones and the Galaxy Book series.
Connected devices boost productivity and convenience, but the limits of connectivity can always be pushed further. According to a recent survey by Samsung[1], 77% of people use multiple apps and devices for the same task, but also find it tedious. With this in mind, Samsung Electronics is always looking for new ways to deliver a connected experience that harmonizes the strengths and capabilities of its smartphones, computers, tablets, watches and more to achieve a truly seamless multi-device ecosystem.
One of these new connectivity features is Recent Websites[2] (an update to the Microsoft Phone Link app[3] now available on the entire Galaxy Book range), which allows users to continue their browsing sessions on their computer. This feature, which allows switching from a phone to a Galaxy Book, makes browsing experiences smoother and more mobile, and guarantees users optimal productivity.
Galaxy Book users can now find recent sessions on their smartphone with just a click, saving them the hassle of browsing across multiple devices and providing convenient and responsive navigation. For example, suppose a user opens multiple tabs to search on their phone. At some point, it might be more efficient to open those same tabs on a bigger screen in order to work with PC apps. Thanks to the Recent Websites feature, this task is now possible and allows users to open new tabs without having to go back to check search terms or browsing histories.
To use Recent Websites, simply link your Galaxy smartphone to the Galaxy Book through the Windows Link app on your phone and the Microsoft Phone Link app on your computer. Then open the Microsoft Phone Link application or context menu on your computer, which will display a list of websites you have recently opened on your smart phone. Clicking on any of these websites will launch it directly on your Galaxy Book.
Recent Websites is one of many new connectivity features that make the connected experience between Galaxy smartphones and the Galaxy Book line richer and more flexible. By opening up incredible possibilities for devices, Samsung enables customers to use and combine their devices in more innovative and accessible ways. Stay tuned for the next Galaxy reveal to learn more about Samsung’s efforts to promote multi-device connectivity across the Galaxy Book lineup and beyond.
