Microsoft Prepares Clipboard Synchronization Between Windows And Android With Gboard Support

Microsoft is enhancing connectivity between Windows 11 and Android devices through its Phone Link system, introducing a clipboard synchronization feature. This feature allows users to share their Windows clipboard with Android devices, currently available in early development versions. Once activated, copied items appear instantly on connected Android devices and are compatible with various input methods, including Gboard and Samsung Keyboard. However, the synchronization is unidirectional, allowing content to be copied from Windows to Android but not the other way around.

Microsoft preparing clipboard sync between Windows and Android with Gboard support

Microsoft is introducing clipboard synchronization between Windows 11 and Android devices through its Phone Link system, which supports Gboard. An "Access PC’s clipboard" toggle has been found in the Phone Link application, allowing users to share their Windows clipboard with Android devices. This feature is currently available only in early Dev builds, and initial tests show it works seamlessly. Users can sync clipboard items instantly by activating the toggle and adjusting settings. The synchronization works with various keyboards, but not with Microsoft’s SwiftKey. The feature allows content copied on Windows to be pasted on Android, but not vice versa in the early preview.
