About this tag
The android to pc tag on WindowsForum.com covers Microsoft's Cross-Device Resume feature for Windows 11, which enables users to hand off activities from an Android phone to a PC. Discussions detail the feature's expansion from OneDrive documents to include Spotify playback, Microsoft 365 Copilot files, and browser sessions. Recent threads highlight the addition of Windows Push Notification Service (WNS) support, allowing third-party Android apps to trigger resume prompts. The tag focuses on the rollout, limitations, and practical use of this cross-device continuity tool, with emphasis on how it compares to Apple's Handoff and its evolving integration with Windows 11.
