Microsoft is working on Your Phone app and it’s available for the Windows Insiders in the Fast and Skip Ahead Ring. The Your Phone app is part of the software giant’s plan to create deep synergies between your PC and your iOS or Android smartphones. It was announced back in May this year and the app is supposed to sync messages, recent photos from your phone to your PC.

Microsoft has already confirmed that Your Phone will ship with an upcoming version of Windows 10 (codenamed Redstone 5). For those unfamiliar, Windows 10 Redstone 5 is expected to hit RTM status in September and it’ll be released for the general in October.

The latest Windows 10 Redstone 5 preview build comes with important changes in this regard. According to the changelog, Microsoft will pin the shortcut of Your Phone app to your desktop when you’ll upgrade your PC from any previous version of Windows 10.

“Coming today for Build 17741, we’ve added a new entry point to Your Phone app. Notice a desktop pin? It’ll take you directly to Your Phone app – for quicker access to your phone’s content. Or go through the all apps list in Start Menu, or Windows key and search for Your Phone app. You pick how you get there, just get there,” Microsoft’s Dona Sarkar and Brandon LeBlanc
