Link to Windows is an official Microsoft app that helps you keep a record of the Microsoft apps installed and upgraded in your smartphone. Basically, you can view a list of all the Microsoft apps for Android including: Skype, Swiftkey Keyboard, Office Lens, Outlook, Xbox, Wunderlist, among many others.
Link to Windows lets you sync your smartphone with a Windows computer. You can view your messages, sync contacts, make calls or see all the photos and videos stored in your Gallery. You can also keep your Microsoft apps up to date.
Using Link to Windows on your local network is safe. However, you must be careful when using it outside of your Wi-Fi network, as content sent and received between your computer and smartphone is not encrypted.
Today we are thrilled to announce the evolution of Your Phone app as Phone Link. We introduced the Your Phone experience more than three years ago, allowing you to keep your smartphone in your pocket and still be able to access your photos and texts on your computer. Since then, we have enabled more capabilities, such as the ability to filter notifications on your Windows PC, make and receive phone calls even when your phone is out of reach, and use your Android mobile apps on your Windows PC.

From everything I'm reading, it sounds like you NEED to use the phone companion app to pair the controllers. However, my phones and ipad have been unsuccessful in pairing to the headset. I assume this is because the headset is not on a wireless network.
Is there really no way to pair the controllers in the setup phase without the companion app? Does the headset really need to be on the wireless network? Doesn't the phone use a bluetooth handshake to get the pairing information? Why is wifi even required?
I should mention that i have tried resetting factory settings, have bluetooth/network and location permissions to the oculus phone app, have reinstalled the app, tried 3 phones, and rebooted the device many times now.
Hey there! We want to help get your controllers paired and make setup as smooth as possible for you, so please PM us or click HERE to contact us by email or chat. We'll look into the issues you're experiencing with your controllers and the phone app and get them squared away. Thanks!
To answer your question, Yes, pairing your device does require Bluetooth. There is another step we would like for you to try out. We would like for you to please clear out your Bluetooth cache history. This will allow you to start afresh and pair your device to your Meta verse mobile app.

The Your Phone apps experience is continuing to evolve. We're happy to announce that the multi-apps experience is now ready for you to try. You can experience the power and convenience of running multiple Android mobile apps side by side on your Windows 10 PC on supported Samsung devices. Apps will launch in separate windows, letting you interact with multiple apps at the same time, even if the Your Phone app is not open. Pin your apps to Favorites, Windows 10 taskbar, or Start menu for quick and easy access. And now you can search for your previously pinned apps using Windows search from within your Start app list. So, whether you are staying connected with family and friends, keeping up on your social feed, or ordering food, you can do it all simultaneously from the comfort of your PC, no need to install apps or sign in again.
Starting last Thursday, the multi-apps feature has started to roll out on supported Samsung Galaxy phones (Note20 5G, Note20 Ultra 5G, Z Fold2 5G, Z Flip, Z Flip 5G) running Android 10 with Link to Windows (LTW) integration and to Windows Insiders who are configured to be in the Dev Channel, Beta Channel, or Release Preview Channel. Please note that this is a server-side change that takes time to reach everyone.
We're excited to announce that the Your Phone app has a new pinning feature integrated with the notifications feed. With notifications pinning, you can easily pin to save important notifications that will stick to the top of your feed, so they are readily accessible and distinguished from the rest of your notifications. To try out this feature, find a notification you want to pin and select the ellipses in the overflow menu. There you will see the option Pin notification.
Since the notification will now stick to the top of your feed, you no longer have to worry about losing the notification and can easily access the thread and use all your favorite functionality, like in-line reply. When you no longer need that notification thread, you can simply unpin it by choosing the unpin icon.
And we are not stopping here. Later in the year, Samsung Galaxy Note20 users will experience the power and convenience of running multiple apps side by side, and we will continue to work with Samsung to bring this feature to additional devices. Apps will launch in separate windows, so you can interact with multiple apps at the same time. So, whether you are working on a document, keeping up on your social media feed, or simply staying connected with family and friends, everything is accessible in one place and your flow is never broken.
The audio controls functionality announced in April is now rolling out to the general public. This feature lets you control your music and audio apps from the Your Phone app. Now you can access and control the audio apps playing from your phone directly within the app, without needing to split your attention between devices or breaking your workflow. Your audio tracks will stay in sync between your phone and PC, and you can switch between multiple sources using the dropdown in the player.
Your Phone app now supports RCS (send/receive) for a richer messaging experience on select Samsung devices, provided your mobile operator supports RCS. For users who have RCS messaging enabled on their device and use Samsung Messages app as the default app on their phone, they will now be able to send and receive these messages from the Your Phone app. Additionally, users will be able to see their messages get marked as read. If a user views messages on their PC, they will also be marked as read on the phone, removing the need to clear notifications on the phone.
You will now be able to interact with your phone screen using one-touch tap and long press. This handy feature will allow you to conveniently open apps, select items, click on links, and more, directly on your touch-enabled PC.
To enable the focus tracking accessibility feature, you must first turn on the Your Phone Companion accessibility service and TalkBack on your Android phone. Once these services are enabled, you can turn on Magnifier on your PC using the shortcut Win + (+) or open the app from your Windows menu.
As promised, we have expanded phone screen support to additional phone models, OnePlus 6, OnePlus 6T, Samsung Galaxy S10e, S10, S10+, Note 8, Note 9. Try out phone screen and send us your feedback. We will continue to expand the list of supported devices over time.
The new phone screen feature gives you easy access to your phone apps on your PC. Whether scheduling a ride to the airport or checking your social updates, do it with ease from the comfort of your PC without having to take your phone out of your bag or go back and forth between devices. Go ahead, give your thumbs a break, and get things done faster with your keyboard and mouse.
This feature will gradually roll out to Insiders on 19H1 builds. It may take a few days for this feature to show up inside the Your Phone app (version 1.0.20701.0 and above).You can use the Your Phone app on any Windows 10 PC running Windows builds 1803 (RS4) or newer and any Android phone running Android version 7.0 or newer. But the new phone screen feature is initially only compatible with a limited set of devices. Surface Go will be the first device in the Surface lineup to preview this feature. We will continue to expand the list of devices over time for both the PC and phone.
After downloading, step through the instructions to install the Companion app on your device. You need to install the MIT App Inventor Companion app only once, and then you can leave it on your phone or tablet for whenever you use App Inventor. Note: There are some differences between the Android and iOS versions. Please review this page for more details.
For Android, scan this code to download the Android .APK file for the Companion app directly to your device. (Using an .APK file requires sideloading the app on your device and updating the app manually in the future.)
App Inventor will automatically show you the app you are building, but only if your computer (running App Inventor) and your device (running the Companion) are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. See a more detailed explanation of this here.
Please note: Arc Mobile Companion will only sync if the iCloud account used on the iPhone matches the iCloud account used on the desktop computer. If you use Arc across different devices with different iCloud accounts, please ensure your phone is using the iCloud account you prefer to sync to.
