Samsung is streamlining the app mirroring process for Windows users with its latest One UI 6.1.1 update. This enhancement aims to make the app streaming experience smoother and more efficient for Samsung device users.
Mishaal Rahman from Android Authority conducted an in-depth analysis of the new features introduced in One UI 6.1.1. The software update requires users to grant permission to the Link to Windows and Phone Link services to stream apps on their computer. Samsung has integrated these services into Android’s native implementation, eliminating the need for constant approval prompts when streaming apps.
Users will now encounter a permission page when attempting to mirror an app for the first time. This page includes options to allow mirroring always, only this time, or don’t allow. Selecting always allow removes the need for repeated permission prompts, enhancing the overall streaming experience. However, it is essential to keep the Android device unlocked for the feature to work seamlessly.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Fold 6 are the first devices to receive this update, offering a more streamlined app streaming process. Microsoft has also revamped its Phone Link app, providing users with a cleaner interface to access phone notifications and messages on their Windows computers.
While the One UI 6.1.1 update has only been rolled out to Samsung’s latest foldable devices, the rest of the Galaxy lineup is eagerly awaiting the software upgrade. Samsung has confirmed that the update will bring significant AI enhancements, including new camera features like Portrait Studio and Sketch to Image.
Despite the delay in the wider release of One UI 6.1.1, Samsung users can look forward to a more intuitive app mirroring experience and enhanced AI capabilities once the update becomes available on other devices. The tech giant is committed to improving the user experience and integrating innovative features into its software offerings.
