Hi, so this morning I finished setting up my Phone Link, and later it came to attention that except for my apps and accounts, almost all my files, photos and videos on my phone were GONE without a trace.

It first says to “Phone Link” folder in “Downloads”. I looked up and checked, and there wasn’t any folder named Phone Link in the first place.

Microphone isn't working for calls on Phone Link

I am unable to get the microphone working on Phone Link in Windows 11.All settings show it has access to the mic. And during a phone call, the microphone properties also shows, "This device is currently in use. Changing any properties during use may cause audio application issues."So, I know the app has access to it, but the people on the other end of the call cannot hear me.Can't really find a solution to it anywhere. PhoneLink doesn't have the option to change mic or speaker either. Which sucks.Any ideas for trouble shooting? Continue reading...
