How to Choose which Apps to get Notifications from in Phone Link app

This guide explains how to pick which apps send alerts from your Android phone to your 11 PC using the Phone Link app.

Why do this?

Why bother with this? Perhaps you want to see alerts for important apps like text messages or email, but hide those for games or social media. Customizing these settings helps you focus on what matters by removing unwanted distractions.

What happens when done?

Your PC will only show notification banners or feed alerts for the specific apps you have enabled. This keeps your computer screen clean while keeping you connected to your most important apps.

Phone Link on your PC can show your mobile alerts right on your desktop. Once you grant permission on your Android device, these alerts will appear on your PC. Clearing an alert on your PC will also remove it from your phone.

Steps to manage your notifications

1. Open the Phone Link app on your PC.
2. Click the Settings (gear) icon.
3. Select Features in the middle menu.
4. Click Notifications on the right to open the list.

5. Click Choose which apps I get notifications from to see your app list.
6. For each app, choose Notifications feed + banner, Notifications feed, or Disabled from the drop-down menu.

Summary

By following these steps, you gain full control over your Android notifications on Windows. You can toggle alerts on or off for any app, which helps keep your PC organized and shows only the information you want to see.
