This guide explains how to manage low battery alerts in the Phone Link app on Windows 11.

The Phone Link app is a tool on Windows that lets you link your phone and PC using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. It lets you use your phone apps, text, and photos right on your computer. You can use your PC keyboard and screen while your phone stays in your pocket.

Why manage these alerts?

By default, your PC will pop up a message when your phone battery is running low. This is helpful so you know when to plug your phone in. However, if you find these alerts distracting, you can turn them off.

What happens when done?

Once you change this setting, your computer will stop showing battery alerts from your phone. You will need to check your phone manually to see if it needs a charge.

Steps to change low battery notifications

You can change these settings at any time. You do not need special permissions for these steps.

1. Open the Phone Link app on your computer.
2. Click the Settings button (the gear icon) at the top right corner.
3. Select the Features tab.

4. On the right side, click to expand the Notifications tile.
5. Check or uncheck the box that says “Show notifications when my battery is low” based on your preference.

Exit the settings page when you are finished. Your changes are saved automatically.

Summary

The Phone Link app connects your phone to your Windows 11 PC. It sends alerts to your desktop when your phone battery is low. You can easily turn these notifications off by visiting the Features tab inside the app’s Settings menu.
