    Phone link shows connected, can't open apps


    When I open Phone Link on PC, it shows all my phone's recent messages and also shows texts as they come in. But, when I try to load any app, it says that I need to connect to the same WIFI, which of course, I am seeing that I am getting all my notifications from my android phone to my PC..

    Try unlocking your phone screen to see if that helps.
