Jumping back and forth between your phone and your PC can be annoying. Some messaging apps have web clients, so you don’t have to open your device to carry on a conversation. But there’s an easier way to reply to messages, check notifications, and open your Android device’s screen without having to take your eyes off your PC.

Thanks to a recent update, Microsoft’s Your Phone app now lets users view their Android notifications and reply to messages directly from a Windows 10 PC. The update initially launched for Windows Insiders, but is now rolling out to all users. And it couldn’t be any easier to set up:

  1. On your PC, install Your Phone from the Microsoft Store by clicking “Get” to start the download.
  2. After Your Phone is installed, click “Launch” from the store page, or from the Windows start menu.
  3. Click “Get started.”
  4. Sign in with (or create) your Microsoft account, then click “Continue.”
  5. Click “Link phone.” This sends an app link to your Android via text.
  6. On your android phone, open the text and tap the Google Play Store link for the Your Phone Companion app. Tap “Install.”
  7. Open the Your Phone Companion app on your Android device.
  8. Sign in with your Microsoft account in the phone app.
  9. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish the pairing.

Once your devices are synced up, you can see texts, photos, notifications, and preview your phone’s screen by clicking the side menu tabs in the PC app. Push notifications from your phone will also show up as a desktop notification on your PC. (You can also adjust notification behavior in the app’s settings menu, if they’re getting to be a bit much.)

You still can’t take action on the notifications you receive just yet, but you can at least manage them: anything you dismiss on your Windows PC will also disappear on your Android device. (Microsoft is currently testing screen mirroring for Android apps, which would eventually allow you to access your Android device’s apps directly from your PC).

If you aren’t seeing these device notifications at all. don’t worry—Microsoft says the feature’s full rollout should be complete by July 9. You’re still able to at least read and reply to texts in the meantime, which is a big time-saver.

Apple's iOS 13 Lets Us Fake Intimacy in FaceTime by Correcting Our Gaze to Look Into the Camera - Gizmodo

It appears Apple is testing out a feature that will help users fake some intimacy during video calls. There’s a new feature in the third developer version of iOS 13 beta, called FaceTime Attention Correction, which corrects your gaze to make it look like you’re staring into the camera.

App designer Mike Rundle was among the first to point out the existence of the feature, which Gizmodo has also spotted in iOS 13 beta and tested out. My colleague Victoria Song FaceTimed her friend, who said that “Your eyes look kinda funny, but it’s not that noticeable.”

Software engineer Dave Schukin pointed out on Twitter that the feature uses Apple’s ARKit “to grab a depth map/position of your face, and adjusts the eyes accordingly,” sharing a video of how it works.

The feature is reportedly only available on iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max if you have the beta operating system installed on your phone, and it’s unclear whether this is a feature Apple plans to roll out more broadly down the line. We have reached out to Apple for comment and will update with a response.

Video chatting is certainly more intimate than other text-based forms of communication, but the design oftentimes has you looking into the screen rather than the camera—that’s how you can see the person on the other end. This feature effectively allows you to continue to do that while also making it appear to the person you’re talking to that you’re looking them in the eye. If it works as intended and doesn’t lead to some wonky eye contact, it’s a pretty useful feature for those who want to appear peak invested without having to stare into that tiny little camera lens.

The Morning After: Windows 1.0 is back and no one knows why - Engadget

Sponsored Links

Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.

Yesterday's Orion test went off without a hitch, and we're sure that Samsung is hoping its Galaxy Fold can eventually say the same thing. Also, Microsoft is putting out weird teasers, and Volkswagen is imagining an electric version of its microbus.

Hardware revision 1.1 incoming.Bloomberg: Galaxy Fold redesign is complete

Nothing official yet, but the rumor is that Samsung has patched up all the issues found with Galaxy Fold 1.0. According to Bloomberg sources, mass production of redesigned units has yet to commence, so it's still unclear exactly when they might launch.

The maker has reportedly tweaked the troublesome protective film and hinges, and of course, all eyes will be on those parts whenever the Fold reappears. The only thing we know so far is it's not expected to make an appearance at the Galaxy Note 10 launch event on August 7th.

What year is it?Microsoft is teasing Windows 1.0, and everyone is confused

The Windows team dropped a sizzler video on Twitter, announcing the "all-new" Windows 1.0. It posted the same video over on its Instagram account, but only after it had wiped every single other post from its page. Why? We don't know either.

Ready to go to the beach, or to Burning Man.Volkswagen's Type 20 electric concept merges old-school and new

The VW Type 20 concept car is essentially a tech-filled 1962 Microbus with its engine swapped for a battery pack and electric motor.

Enhancing performance over last-gen cards even if you're not using ray tracing.NVIDIA's new RTX Super cards are a pre-emptive strike on AMD

With AMD's next generation of GPUs just days away, NVIDIA is making good on its drawn-out tease with a trio of new graphics cards: the RTX 2060 Super, RTX 2070 Super and the RTX 2080 Super. So what does Super mean? More cores, more RAM and more money.

The update will deliver a 'scoped' set of features.Microsoft's next big Windows 10 update is actually pretty small

Remember the biannual Windows 10 feature update schedule? Great. Now forget it. Microsoft announced that the September-ish update on the way won't make big changes users will notice, and it will feel more like one of its small monthly tweaks. The big changes, like a new Linux kernel, are coming next year.

Would you be surprised if we just said 'Cuphead' and ended the list?The best games for Xbox One

With the Xbox One X having a clear advantage over Sony's PlayStation 4 Pro when it comes to gaming on a 4K TV, there's never been a better time to jump in.

While not all the games on this list are Xbox exclusives, every game is at least more performant or better-looking on Xbox than PlayStation, provided you're playing on a One X.

But wait, there's more...

Microsoft’s Your Phone app can now mirror your Android phone’s notifications - The Verge

Microsoft is rolling out an update to its Your Phone app on Windows 10 that will allow it to mirror notifications from your Android phone onto your PC. This makes good on a promise from August 2018 when Microsoft said that notifications would be coming.

The core concept of Your Phone hasn’t changed. Once you sync an Android phone with the app, you can read and reply to text messages, look at photos in your on-device library, and even drag and drop the files. But once this update hits your machine, the app will get smarter, alerting you to any notification that your paired phone receives.

Getting notifications on your PC is great, but being able to take action on those notifications — via Twitter, Phone, WhatsApp, etc., not just text messages — would be better. Earlier this year, Microsoft demonstrated its plans to let users do exactly that by mirroring your Android phone screen, letting you remotely take action on it. The feature will apparently be called “notification chasing,” according to Microsoft’s Vishnu Nath. It’s already in beta for Windows Insiders, and it will likely release for others soon.

Attention Correction Feature in iOS 13 Beta Enables Appearance of Eye Contact During FaceTime Calls - Mac Rumors

A new feature in the latest iOS 13 beta makes users appear as if they're looking directly at the camera to make eye contact during FaceTime calls, when actually they're looking away from the camera at the image of the other person on their screen.


The FaceTime Correction Feature as demoed by Will Simon (@Wsig)

The new "FaceTime Attention Correction" feature, first spotted by Mike Rundle on Twitter, can be turned on and off in the FaceTime section of the Settings app, although it only appears to work on iPhone XS and XS Max devices in the third iOS 13 beta sent out to developers on Tuesday.

Why the feature is limited to these devices right now remains unknown. It clearly relies on some form of image manipulation to achieve its results, so maybe the software algorithms require the more advanced processing power of Apple's latest devices.

Rundle predicted in 2017 that FaceTime attention correction would be introduced by Apple in "years to come," but its apparent inclusion in iOS 13, due to be released this fall, has surprised and impressed him.

For more details on the many features coming to iPhones with iOS 13, be sure to check out our comprehensive MacRumors roundup.

Apple's new iOS 13 feature corrects your gaze during video calls - Engadget

A video call is a great way to connect with friends and family when you can't physically be together. But even if you're staring directly at your loved one's face, there's still something a little off about the whole process. The way your phone's screen display and camera lens sync up means you're never quite able to look your conversational partner squarely in the eye. Until now, that is. Apple is allegedly working on a new feature that subtly adjusts your gaze during video calls, so it appears as if you're looking into the camera when you're actually looking at the screen.

The feature, called FaceTime Attention Correction, is part of the latest iOS 13 beta, and appears to use advanced image manipulation to make video-based eye contact appear more natural. It was discovered by app designer Mike Rundle, who tested it out with tech enthusiast Will Sigmon. You can see the feature in action below. It looks like it's only available on the new iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, but that likely means future iterations of the iPhone will get it as standard, helping you to completely maximise your FaceTime game.
