How to Hide Your Mobile Screen on Windows 11
You hide your mobile screen on Windows 11 by using the Phone Link app’s “Hide my phone screen” feature.
Phone Link, a Microsoft application, seamlessly connects your Android or iPhone to your Windows 11 PC, allowing you to manage apps, messages, and calls directly from your computer.
This built-in privacy setting is perfect for when you’re using your phone in public or sharing your screen during presentations.
Once activated, your phone’s display will turn black when you interact with it through your PC, safeguarding your sensitive information from prying eyes.
Open the Phone Link app, go to Settings > Features > Apps, and check the box for “Hide my mobile screen while it’s connected to my PC.” This will turn your phone’s display black while you use it through your computer.
