    How to Turn On or Off Show Contacts List from Android phone in Your Phone app on Windows 10 PC

    Linking your Android phone to your Windows 10 PC lets you switch seamlessly between your phone and PC. Start a task on one of your devices and continue it on another.

    Microsoft is starting to roll out a new Contacts (in preview) feature to the Your Phone app that allows you to display and manage the contact list from your Android phone on your Windows 10 PC. You can select a contact to text, call, or view important info about them.

    This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off showing contacts from your Android phone in the Your Phone app for your account on a Windows 10 PC.

    The Contacts feature in the Your Phone app on Windows 10 is currently only available as a preview feature to Windows Insiders in the Dev channel.

    Is this discontinued?


    Hi Shawn,

    Is this discontinued or is it still in Windows Insider? I'm not seeing this on the latest version of the app.

    Hello PRMyx,

    That setting has indeed been removed.

    You can open the Contacts app from the Apps page in the Phone Link app now.
