TL;DR

Microsoft is reportedly working on integrating your phone more deeply into Windows 11 by improving and expanding upon Phone Link’s experiences.

One change is a new dedicated smartphone flyout that provides an overview of your phone’s status, as well as toggles for features such as do not disturb and vibrate mode.

The company is also said to be working on a new dedicated messaging app that will exist as a standalone experience.

Microsoft has long been working on ways to bring Windows and your Android phone closer together . In 2018, the company launched the Your Phone and Your Phone Companion apps, which let you bring certain capabilities and content from your phone to your PC. These apps later got rebranded to Phone Link and Link to Windows. A new report says that Microsoft is now exploring ways to expand and improve upon Phone Link so these experiences feel more native to its own OS.

According to Windows Central , Microsoft is discussing several upgrades, one of which will enhance the Phone Companion found in Start. It’s reported that the Phone Companion will show more recent activities, and you won’t need to open Phone Link to look through them. Additionally, you’ll be able to hover over these activities to learn more, such as viewing a full message.

TL;DR

T-Mobile’s free Wi-Fi benefit on United Airlines flights will end on July 13, 2026.

This will be the last day to take advantage of the carrier’s perk.

One of the benefits of being a T-Mobile customer was its free Wi-Fi perk on certain flights. T-Mobile has offered free in-flight Wi-Fi on select airlines for eligible members for over a decade. While the perk is still alive and well for some airlines, United Airlines and American Airlines recently bowed out of the partnership . If you’re about to fly on United Airlines, know that this is your last day to take advantage of T-Mobile’s offer.

As a quick recap, United Airlines officially ended its deal with T-Mobile back in April. This was a direct result of United forming a partnership with Starlink to begin offering its own complementary in-flight Wi-Fi service. It’s expected that United will offer this benefit on all of its flights by 2027.
