While Microsoft has brought the Your Phone app on Windows 10 for all PCs, Dell has developed its own solution called Dell Mobile Connect which can only be used on Dell PCs. It has all the features of Your Phone app and on top of that, adds some new ones too such as screen mirroring, notification reply, calling, messaging, and more. If you are unaware, screen mirroring is also available on Your Phone app but it’s currently exclusive to Samsung phones only. So if you want all those features, you can sideload the app and use Dell Mobile Connect on your Windows 10 PC.
