Microsoft launched Your Phone app for Windows 10 earlier this month and as of now, it works only on Insider preview builds of Redstone 5 update. It appears that Microsoft has just pushed out a new update for Your Phone app which adds support for Windows 10 April 2018 Update devices.
In a Twitter post, Microsoft announced that the latest update for Your Phone app on Windows 10 adds support for April 2018 Update devices (Redstone 4). Your Phone version 1.0.12161 comes with the following changes:
- What’s new: right click to share a photo.
- Automatically connect when PC unlocks + disconnect when PC locks.
- Added support for Windows 10 April 2018 Update (RS4).
It’s worth noting that the Your Phone app may still not working on Windows 10 April 2018 Update even after installing the update.
