Additionally, you can look up your contacts using theSearch Bar, or by looking them up in theRecent Callslist.

One interestingfeatureis that the phone and the PC don’t need to be on the same Wi-Fi network in order to work. Thanks to this, you can keep your Android phone on its independent 4G network, disconnected from the Wi-Fi, and the calls from your PC will still work.

Also, since the PC and the Android phone will be linked via Bluetooth, the call will be made instantly. This handyfeaturehas been a long time coming, especially for anappthat calls itself Your Phone.

The only limitation to thisfeatureis that since the two devices are paired via Bluetooth, theapp‘s usefulness is limited by the Bluetooth range. This greatly reduces the number of things you can use this newfeaturefor in real-life applications.
