Your Phone is a nice little handy Windows 10 app that helps the users to make most of their PC and mobile phone. While the app itself offers good functionality, it is only when it works and most of the time I had a hard time getting it working. Users have reported that they are unable to make the Your Phone app work in Windows 10 as the app is not able to connect.
With the steps below, you should be able to fix the connection issue with the Your Phone app.
Why the Your phone app won’t connect?
1. Disable Metered Connection
While Your Phone and Your Phone Companion will connect to each other, you won’t receive any notification on your PC from your phone if you have metered connection turned on your PC.This restriction is in place to limit the data usage to avoid unexpected data use by the service.To turn off the metered connection, click on Start and select Settings.Click on Network and Internet.Select WiFi and click on Manage Known Networks.Select your current active WiFi network and click on Properties.
Scroll down to Metered Connection section and turn off “Set as metered connection” using the toggle switch.Launch Your Phone app on your PC and try to connect and check if the app works without any issues.Note: Turning off metered connection means Windows OS will download updates for the OS automatically.
