The Phone Link feature introduced in Windows 11 provides you with a more convenient way to control your phone from your PC

Phone Link in Windows 11 is getting another useful feature. After getting iPhone integration not too long ago, Microsoft is reportedly working on bringing a switch that will make it easier to control your phone from your PC.

Or, at least so far.

The Redmond-based tech giant rolled out a build for Windows Insiders in the Dev channel. It's called Build 23590, and while it brings the sad news that Steps Recorder is being deprecated here, there's an interesting hidden switch in the Settings app.

The new toggle reads "Allow this computer to access your mobile device." Still incomplete, but is that a sign of a good thing?

Check out the findings below, as shared by @PhantomOfEarth inside Windows 11 on X (fka Twitter):

The Phone Link settings page will change to "Mobile Devices." There's a new "Allow this computer to access your mobile devices" switch at the top, which is currently unfinished, as shown in the dialog box in the second screenshot. Hidden in 23590

Microsoft is also renaming its Phone Link settings page to “Mobile,” likely to prevent confusion. Insiders also say that once you click on it , it will activate the "Manage Devices" button. Again, the conversation is not complete yet, but it is a sign of new things to come.

You can read the official changelog for Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 23590 from the official Microsoft website.
