One UI 6.1.1 improves app streaming from Galaxy phones to Windows PCs

In July 2024, One UI 6.1.1 introduced with Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 smartphones. Samsung is now regularly working to make this update available for more Galaxy devices. One UI 6.1.1 offers several features and enhancements over the previous version, one of which is app streaming from Galaxy phones to Windows PCs.

With the latest One UI 6.1.1 update, Samsung Galaxy users will find app streaming from their phones to Windows PCs much smoother. This update improves how Samsung smartphones work with Microsoft’s Phone Link app.

Introduced in 2020, Microsoft’s Phone Link app allows users to stream Android apps from their smartphones to Windows PCs. At first, this feature was only available on Samsung devices, but it has become even better with the latest One UI 6.1.1 update.

Previously with Android 14, users had to manually approve a prompt each time they started a new app streaming session. This made the process annoying and inconvenient.

Fortunately, One UI 6.1.1 update fixes this issue by removing the need to approve the prompt for each new session. You only need to approve it the first time. However, the phone still needs to be unlocked to start streaming, a necessary security measure.

Talking about its availability, users of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 can enjoy it. The Korean tech giant is regularly working to make the One UI 6.1.1 update available to more Galaxy devices including the Galaxy S24 series.

Aside from this, the latest One UI iteration also offers new Galaxy AI features to Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 devices. The company will make some of Galaxy AI features for older Galaxy devices.
