Users Can Now Enjoy Continuous Browsing Experiences Between Galaxy Smartphones and the Galaxy Book Series
1/19/2023
As part of Samsung’s ongoing efforts to enhance PC-Mobile connectivity, the new “Recent Websites” feature from Microsoft Phone Link is now available for Galaxy smartphones and the Galaxy Book series.
Connected devices boost productivity and convenience but there is always room to push the boundaries of connectivity even further. According to a recent survey,[1] 77% of people use multiple apps and devices together for a single task but also find it can take a lot of extra effort. With this in mind, Samsung Electronics is always looking for new ways to deliver a connected experience that harmonizes the strengths and capabilities of its smartphones, PCs, tablets, watches and more for a truly seamless multi-device ecosystem.
One of these new connectivity features is Recent Websites[2] – an update for the Microsoft Phone Link[3] App now available across the Galaxy Book series – which allows users to continue browsing sessions from their smartphones on their PCs effortlessly. A great way to hit the ground running when moving from a phone to a Galaxy Book, this feature makes browsing experiences smoother and more mobile, ensuring users never miss a beat in their productivity.
Galaxy Book users can now call up recent sessions from their smartphone with a single click, taking the fuss out of multi-device browsing for responsive, convenient navigation. For instance, say a user wants to research something on their phone and opens multiple tabs. At some point, it might be more efficient to open these same tabs on a bigger screen and start working with some PC applications. With Recent Websites, this task is easier than ever, allowing users to open new tabs without needing to go back to check search terms or browsing histories.
To use Recent Websites, make sure to link your Galaxy smartphone to Galaxy Book through Link to Windows’ on your phone and the Microsoft Phone Link App on your PC. Then simply open the Microsoft Phone Link App or flyout on your PC, which will display a list of websites you recently opened on your smartphone. Clicking on one of these websites will launch it straight away on your Galaxy Book.
