New market: Microsoft is making its Phone Link app available on Honor Magic V, Magic 4 series, and Magic 3 series devices in China. Setup improvements: The next Windows 11 update will let users configure Phone Link with a QR code during the out-of-box experience.

New app design: The app now follows the Windows 11 design language with rounded corners and updated iconography. Tabbed interface: The app now features phone notifications on the left, and the new tab navigation provides quick access to messages, photos, apps, and phone calls.

You will then open Settings > Apps and find Your Phone Companion app and tap on Clear data and then Clear all data to clear stored cache and other files associated with the app.

You will find the option under Settings > Accounts.

Open the app and sign out of your Microsoft account. Let’s begin with the Your Phone Companion app on mobile. Start from scratch like you just heard of the app and want to install it. You will have to unlink both Windows and mobile apps to make this work. If nothing works, I recommend you reinstall the app.

The last step is Reset that will get you a fresh start where you will begin the setup process from scratch. You can try this but we already did this above in the troubleshooting step. The second is Repair that will try to find and fix issues with the app. Restart it to initiate the connection process again. The first one I recommend is Terminate that will shut down the Your Phone app.
