Microsoft will make copy and paste between devices an exclusive feature of Samsung smartphones

Last year, Microsoft partnered with Samsung to develop an improved version of the Your Phone app that is independent of Bluetooth LE on PC and offers convenient screen sharing. In turn, the Link to Windows shortcut appeared in the notification shade on Galaxy smartphones.

There seems to be a close relationship between both companies as Microsoft prepares exclusive features for Samsung's flagship smartphones. According to the support documentation on Microsoft's website, copy and paste between devices will only work with the Samsung Galaxy S20, S20+, S20 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Flip for now.

This feature will allow you to copy and paste text (with formatting if supported) and images (less than 1 MB, otherwise they will be resized) to Windows and Android devices using the tools already present on them. To enable the feature, Your Phone users simply need to go to Settings > Copy and paste between devices and turn on the setting: Allow this app to receive and transfer content I copy and paste between my phone and PC.

Last year, Microsoft made Samsung-exclusive features available to all Android users a few months later, so this time around, the exclusivity is likely only to enlist Samsung's help in strengthening the PC and smartphone ecosystem, and then the new feature will be available to everyone.
