by ·

Earlier, Microsoft added control buttons related to music players in Your Phone app, including functions such as play and pause buttons, and switching between up and down tracks.

After testing, Microsoft began to gradually promote to the stable version of the user, after the user upgrades the new version, if the Android device is playing music, you will see the relevant button.

With the help of this music-like remote control function, we can quickly control the music being played on the Android device, without having to pick up the phone to manually switch and so on.

The new remote control function can mainly display the music being played on the Android device, and then the user can directly control the operation through the application on the computer.

Microsoft said that this function can mainly facilitate the user’s operation without switching between the computer and mobile phone, to avoid such operations may interrupt the user’s workflow.

In terms of functions, the remote control function can display the track being played by the Android device, and provide the previous track, the next track, and the pause or play button for the user to operate.
