Manage Phone Link Photo Permissions in Windows 11

Managing phone link photo permissions in Windows 11 lets you control whether the Phone Link app can delete pictures straight from your Android device. Phone Link is a built-in Windows tool that connects your phone to your PC so you can view and manage text messages, notifications, and up to 2,000 of your most recent camera roll photos directly on your computer screen.

Changing these settings takes just a few clicks in the app settings menu. Keeping photo deletion turned off stops you from accidentally erasing pictures from your phone when you are only trying to clean up your desktop view.
