How to Enable or Disable Phone Low Battery Notification from Phone Link App on Windows 11
Phone Link alerts you on your Windows 11 PC when your phone’s battery drops below 20%. This built-in app connects your mobile device to your computer over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth , so you see the warning even when the phone is in another room or in your bag.
You can turn these low battery notifications on or off at any time in the Phone Link app settings. That is useful if the pop-ups get in the way while you work, or if you want them back after switching them off.
To turn low battery notifications on or off in Phone Link, open Phone Link from the Start menu , click the gear icon in the top-right corner, select the Features tab, and expand the Notifications tile. Check or uncheck “Show notifications when my battery is low.” The change takes effect straight away, and no restart is needed.
Turn low battery notifications on or off in the Phone Link app
The low battery setting controls whether Windows 11 warns you when your phone battery drops below 20%. By default, the alert is turned on. The switch lives in the Phone Link settings, so you do not need to change anything on the phone itself. The steps are the same on Windows 11 Home and Pro, and you do not need to restart the PC.
If it is not, the notification options will not be useful, because the app has no phone to read the battery level from.
- Open Phone Link from the Start menu . The app window opens and shows your linked phone.
- Click the Settings button (the gear icon) in the top-right corner of the window.
- Select the Features tab. If phones are already connected, this opens the phone management screen. Your settings appear on the right side of the window.
- On the right side of the window, expand the Notifications tile. The notification options for the phone appear under it.
- Find Show notifications when my battery is low. Check or turn on the option to enable the alerts. Uncheck or turn it off to disable them. Depending on your version of the app, the control may look like a checkbox or a toggle switch.
- Close Settings when you finish. The change applies straight away.
To undo the change, open Phone Link, go to Settings Features, expand the Notifications tile and set the option back the way it was.
If you turned the option on but still get no warnings, check that the phone is still connected to the PC over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Also check that notifications for Phone Link are not blocked in Windows 11 itself.
- The Phone Link app on Windows 11 lets you access phone apps and data from your PC.
