    Today, we are releasing Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17755 (RS5) to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring.

    Text from your PC – stay connected with Your Phone app
    No need to dig for your phone to text. Leave it in your pocket, bag, or purse. Your Phone app now gives you instant access to your most recent photos and texts from your Android phone. Snap a pic on your Android, see it on your PC. It’s just easier. Text your friends, group message, and type with a keyboard—Your Phone app allows you to view, send, and receive the SMS from your Android, on your computer.

    There are a few ways you can text from your PC. We mentioned the ability to type with a keyboard, the obvious. But how about inking a reply? On pen-capable devices, use your digital pen to focus near the text field in Your Phone app’s messages. Ink a message and watch your fresh ink convert to text and send. Or try using just your voice to dictate a message (US English only at this time). Press the Windows logo key + H to start dictation. On a touch keyboard, select the microphone button. Use dictation to make your text entry easier.

    Try it out and let @VishnuNath know what you think. We can’t wait to hear from you. Love it, like it, or have feedback in any form – share it! Have you pinned Your Phone app to your taskbar yet? We are still finetuning the app, so if you are looking for support, check out workarounds in Your Phone app FAQ.

    Your Phone app is also live for Insiders who are in Skip Ahead running 19H1 builds. You must link your Android phone to your computer through Your Phone app. You will receive an app from Microsoft, which you must download to your mobile phone and follow the setup prompts. Android 7.0+ are compatible with Your Phone app. For PCs tied to the China region, Your Phone app services will be enabled in the future.

    For iPhone users, Your Phone app helps you to link your phone to your PC. Surf the web on your phone, then send the webpage instantly to your computer to pick up where you left off to continue what you’re doing–read, watch, or browse with all the benefits of a bigger screen. With a linked phone, continuing on your PC is one share away.

    General changes, improvements, and fixes for PC
    • The build watermark at the lower right-hand corner of the desktop is no longer present in this build. This does not mean this is the final build as we are not done yet. We’re just now beginning the phase of checking in final code to prepare for the final release.
    • We fixed an issue resulting in slower resume from hibernation on certain devices in the last few flights.
    • We fixed an issue resulting in HDR video being unexpectedly clipped in certain situations.
    • We fixed an issue resulting in Windows Hello spending more time in the “Getting Ready” state in recent builds.
    Known issues
    • When you use the Ease of Access Make Text bigger setting, you might see text clipping issues, or find that text is not increasing in size everywhere.
    • Narrator sometimes does not read in the Settings app when you navigate using Tab and arrow keys. Try switching to Narrator Scan mode temporarily. And when you turn Scan mode off again, Narrator will now read when you navigate using Tab and arrows key. Alternatively, you can restart Narrator to work around this issue.

    That phone app seems to be in the too little, too late category.

    "Surf the web on your phone, then send the webpage instantly to your computer to pick up where you left off to continue what you’re doing" Sync? Chrome and Firefox mobile have this on both platforms. Safari too for Mac users. Why would we bother with a Microsoft Middle..app for this function? Edge mobile to desktop would make sense but there shouldn't be an app for that (lol).

    "There are a few ways you can text from your PC" Yeah- whatsapp web, facebook messenger, telegram, and many more.

    "But how about inking a reply?" No. And my decade old Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic did it too lol.

    Anyways, I'm glad to see the changelog and known issues list is tiny. My own trial with the previous build was stable. At least it's shaping up to be a better launch than the last two. Looking forward to installing final and getting a proper feel for what will be the base of the next LTSB release.
