How to Sync Android Wallpaper in Phone Link on Windows 11
Syncing your Android wallpaper in Phone Link on Windows 11 lets you see your phone’s background image within the Phone Link app on your PC.
Phone Link is a Windows feature that connects your Android phone to your computer. It lets you use your phone’s apps and see its content on your PC, using your keyboard and mouse.
A recent update to Phone Link allows your phone’s wallpaper to become the background of the app on your PC. This adds a personal touch to the Phone Link interface, showing your chosen image with a blurred effect.
To use this feature, you must have transparency effects turned on in your Windows 11 settings.
Open the Phone Link app, go to Settings, select the Features tab, and toggle the Wallpaper option to On. This will display your phone’s current wallpaper as the background for your Phone Link window.
Enable or disable making app background the same as the Android device’s wallpaper
As mentioned above, you can turn on or off a feature that makes the app’s background the same as the wallpaper on your Android device.
Here’s how to do it.
First, open the Phone Link app.
Then, choose to add your phone. If your phone is already linked, click the Settings gear icon in the top right corner. Then, select the Features tab.
Scroll down on the right side to find the Additional settings section. Next, select the "Wallpaper" tile and toggle the switch button to the On or Off position to enable or disable this feature.
Exit the settings page when you are done.
That should do it!
Conclusion
The Phone Link app on Windows 11 offers a convenient way to integrate your Android device with your PC seamlessly. This new feature allows you to sync the app's background with your Android device's wallpaper, further personalizing your experience. You can choose to sync your wallpaper for a unified look or keep it separate, giving you control over your interface. By following these steps, you can manage this setting and enjoy a more cohesive experience between your desktop and mobile devices.
