Microsoft has rolled out the 'Expanded screen' option to every user of the Phone Link application on Windows 11. This enhancement, delivered through the Microsoft Store in build 1.25112.36.0, enables the projection of Android applications onto the Windows environment, stretching them to cover as much as 90 percent of the screen area, according to Windows Latest.
Before this change, Android applications accessed through Phone Link on Windows 11 were confined to a compact display size. Now, the 'Expanded screen' capability permits these apps to operate in an expansive mode approaching full-screen dimensions, improving overall practicality. That said, certain applications require a relaunch to function properly, and some might show unclear visuals when scaled up.
To utilize this functionality, users need an Android device that supports it, such as models from the Samsung Galaxy S22 through S24 lineup, the Honor Magic 4 Pro, various OnePlus handsets, Oppo devices, and select Xiaomi variants.
