Enable Mobile Device App Resume Feature on Windows 11

This article explains how to enable or disable app resume feature with Mobile Device on Windows 11.

Windows Mobile devices (or Phone Link) allow you to access your mobile devices from your PC instantly. This feature comes in handy when transferring files, sending messages, or receiving notifications from your phone while working on your computer.

When you want to link your Mobile device to Windows, you must sign into your Microsoft account before managing your mobile devices. Once you’re signed in, you can link your devices.

With Windows 11 build 26120.5761 (Beta 24H2), Microsoft introduced a feature that lets you seamlessly resume using your favorite Android apps right on your Windows 11 PC.

With this feature, you can easily resume or continue listening to your favorite Spotify tracks and episodes directly from where you left off on the Spotify app on your Android phone. When you click on the notification, the Spotify desktop app will open, and the same track will continue playing on your PC.
