Enable Optimize App Window Sizing on Windows 11

Managing how mobile apps display on a desktop helps keep workflows tidy. Windows 11 includes a dedicated toggle for resizing mobile app windows through Phone Link.

The Phone Link app is a feature on Windows that allows you to link your phone and PC using Wi-Fi 📶 or Bluetooth 🔷 and access your phone’s apps and data from your PC. It lets you browse, play, order, chat, and more using your PC’s larger screen and keyboard while your phone stays in your pocket or desk.

Connecting a mobile device opens up several options. Phone Link lets text messages, app notifications, and mobile audio route straight through the desktop alongside tools to turn allow the phone link app to sync over mobile without Wi-Fi 📶 on or off, unlink your phone from Windows, enable or disable auto startup for the phone link app, send and receive text messages from the app, add or remove Phone Link on the widgets board, turn dark mode on or off, open your phone screen in the app, turn show notifications for all my apps on or off, show notifications in the Phone Link feature feed, enable or disable using Phone Link with Windows suggestions, open Phone Link notification banners in the mobile app or Phone Link, enable or disable Phone Link to show text messages, enable or disable Phone Link to make calls from your mobile device.

When you use the Phone Link app and allow displaying your phone’s app on Windows, you can enable or disable a feature that resizes the app window on the Windows PC.

Controlling the “Optimize app window signing on my PC” feature in Phone Link helps tailor how mobile software behaves on desktop displays. This capability proves particularly useful when running mobile software on a larger monitor.

Turning this feature on refines window scaling across the desktop. Leaving it turned off stops the window from scaling dynamically, which can restrict desktop multitasking.
