Wallpaper sync in Phone Link brings your Android background directly into the Phone Link app window on your Windows 11 PC with a frosted, blurred effect. Phone Link is a built-in Windows tool that connects your phone to your computer so you can check texts, view photos, and open mobile apps without picking up your device.
