Before we dive into pinning apps, you’ll need to connect your phone to your Windows PC. This process is relatively straightforward if the Link to Windows app is pre-installed on your device or your phone is listed as a supported device. For example, features like mirroring phone displays and app management through Phone Link are available only on certain supported devices and do not work with all Android phones.

If your device supports the screen mirroring feature but doesn’t have the Link to Windows app, you can download it from the Google Play Store.

Now, open the Phone Link app on your PC by launching it from the Start Menu.

Now that your phone is connected to your Windows device, it’s time to start pinning apps to your desktop. In the open Phone Link window, navigate to the Apps section.

Next, select the app you want to pin to your desktop. Right-click on it and choose either “Pin to Start” or “Pin to Taskbar” from the dropdown menu. This action creates a shortcut to the app on your taskbar or Start menu. To pin the app directly to your desktop, drag the shortcut from the taskbar or Start menu to your desktop.

However, keep in mind that this feature of pinning apps is not available for all Android devices; only specific compatible devices contain this feature.
