You sync your Android wallpaper in Phone Link on Windows 11 by enabling a specific setting within the app itself.

Phone Link, formerly known as Your Phone, is a Microsoft application allowing you to connect your Android device to your Windows PC. This new feature lets your PC’s Phone Link app adopt your Android phone’s current wallpaper as its background, offering a personalized look.

This feature makes your Phone Link app window visually reflect your phone’s aesthetic, displaying your chosen wallpaper behind elements like messages and photos. You’ll need transparency effects enabled in Windows 11 settings for this to work correctly.
