Surface Duo 2 gets multi-PC support fix for Your Phone (beta)

Microsoft'due south Surface Duo 2 appears to be getting a few fixes and added features. First, we saw inking in Outlook (along with the Photos app beta), with the new "markup" pen ability, and at present Your Phone seems to be getting fixed.

To refresh, for some unknown reason, Surface Duo 2 cannot connect to multiple PCs when using Microsoft's Your Phone app. Information technology makes the feature less useful considering y'all couldn't hop between your desktop PC and laptop while syncing notifications, photos, or taking calls.

Typically, one time you enroll an Android phone (including the original Surface Duo) into Your Phone, it simply appears on whatever PC you lot are logged into, automatically. Notwithstanding, users had to manually reset Your Phone on one PC to enroll it on another with Surface Duo two.

Now, with version 1.21111.176.0-beta_3060351, which is rolling out via the Google Play Store, users can choose to "Add together estimator." The process is still a bit clunky every bit y'all need to manually add every new PC y'all have (unlikely a astringent problem for many) instead of but logging you into Your Phone using your single sign-on MSA (Microsoft account). Just, at to the lowest degree now, you can jump between PCs and maintain the functionality of Your Phone.

Unfortunately, there is still no back up for "Apps," just "Phone screen" for app streaming to Your Phone. The former, "Apps," is what Samsung phones go admission to where you tin can launch individual (and multiple) Android apps as windowed programs. In contrast, most other Android phones tin can only do "Phone screen," whereby the entire Android phone is mirrored to your PC, which is often a slower and less elegant solution.

It is unclear if Microsoft is bringing Apps to Surace Duo and Surface Duo 2.

We have some early reports that a more than significant update for Surace Duo ii should exist coming out sometime in Dec, barring whatsoever terminal-minute bugs. The ability to choose which brandish is the default (for single-screen mode) is one added option, and information technology brings app-launch animations, which are bizarrely omitted.

Another unreported and long-awaited feature is launching OneNote direct by clicking the Surface Slim Pen'due south push. Presumably, there are other changes, optimizations, and bug fixes too.

Finally, Android 11 should soon also exist released for original Surface Duo owners. Our sources familiar with the matter have noted information technology is in self-host testing, ane of the final stages before release.
