How to Turn On the Resume App Button on Your Windows 11 Taskbar

This guide will help you turn on or off the Resume app button on your Windows 11 taskbar. This button lets you quickly continue using apps from your Android phone right on your PC.

What is the Resume App Button?

With a recent Windows 11 update (build 26120.5761), Microsoft added a cool feature. It lets you open Android apps on your PC and pick up where you left off on your phone.

For example, if you were listening to a song on Spotify on your phone, clicking the Resume button on your PC will open Spotify and keep playing the same song. Just make sure you’re signed in with the same Spotify account on both devices.
