In order to get the new feature up and running, users will need to set up their Microsoft Your Phone app on their mobile device and link their PC, which needs to be running Windows 10 April 2018 update or higher. Microsoft’s official blog post details that the new feature is only available in select markets for now without naming them. After the setup process is complete, you will be able to access your phone’s clipboard on PC and vice versa.

In addition, Microsoft is bringing support for sending Rich Communication Service (RCS) text messages from connected PCs. Another new feature is the ability to turn the phone’s screen off while it's connected to a PC in order to conserve battery life.

Wow, this is very useful, beats previous solutions like QQ which like most Chinese apps ask for too many system permissions and exhibit intrusive behavior. It sounds as if compatibility with other Android devices is just an apk away too.

Gimmick, yeah right? Wait for a few years, Google will come up with a big feature update and then it'll become useful.
