Now, you can control media playing on your Android or iOS device within the phone-desktop linking app.
Your Phone app gets media control functions
The Windows 10 application has been updated with the ability to control the music or audio apps running on your smartphone. Microsoft announced the general availability of the new feature when it released Windows 10 build 19645 to the Fast ring. So, now you can play, pause, or play next/previous audio file with your eyes focused on your desktop, rather than smartphone. In addition, the app lets you control audio apps running on your smartphone. Supported applications include YouTube Music, Google Podcast, and Spotify. While build 19645 only shipped to a group of Windows 10 insiders, the media control update is available to all users. However, Microsoft is not pushing the feature via an automatic update. That’s why the company recommends you update to the latest versions of the Your Phone app (for your mobile device) and Your Phone Companion (for your PC). Also, be sure to update to the latest version of Windows 10 or at least use Windows 10 October 2018 Update. We created a guide to help you get started on the new media control experience available in the PC-phone linking app app. You may check it out anytime!
