Incredible useful and convenient when it worked. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked for me in months, and Microsoft support as we know is non-existent. If it works for you, great, if not, find something else.

Woo cool can mange my calls and talks to peoples on my pc... once my phone is connect using this application your phone.
As the other user stated: basically spyware.
When are we going to learn the lesson: Microsoft is all about money, not user rights or privacy.
Incredible useful and convenient when it worked. Unfortunately, it hasn't worked for me in months, and Microsoft support as we know is non-existent. If it works for you, great, if not, find something else.
I think the only way to use Windows sort of safely is offline. You can still browse and install software (with Firefox and Chocolatey, and a proxy) but it makes this a non starter because of its Microsoft account requirement. Not that I'd sign in, and to be fair, AirDrop does require an account as well, but it's only allegedly used (besides for everything else you do on an Apple device) for authentication— Um, sure.
What I don't understand — though it's on brand so maybe I do — is that on AD-joined machines, there's configurable policy to ban Microsoft accounts; I fail to see the point of this thing remaining non uninstallable since becomes [even harder--hazmat*] junk. (I think I meant that as a joke but I'm not sure anymore because it fits.)
It's not FOSS, but unlike KDE connect, this actually works on my windows 10 system.
Microsoft's Phone Link. I first jumped on board when iOS support rolled out to the Windows 11 stable channel. I also used it a bit when I got my Pixel 5 here recently.
Pros:
Cons:
Overall; I personally think it's just OK. Especially now when it has some actual competitors in KDE Connect and Intel Unison. If Microsoft ever improves iOS support (somehow) I may revisit it and give it another rating.
Good app, good ui but limited features for non-samung phones. For example you can't sent RCS and launch Android apps.
