Microsoft warns that Android 15 will make Windows Phone Link worse

Windows Phone Link in Windows 11 will face challenges due to the Android 15 update, which introduces a protocol that redacts sensitive notifications from "untrusted" notification listeners. Microsoft has informed users that certain notifications, including two-factor authentication (2FA) codes, will no longer be accessible through Phone Link. Devices pre-installed with Link To Windows can still sync sensitive notifications if configured correctly, while users of devices without Phone Link, such as Google Pixel, Sony Xperia, or Nothing Phone, will lose access to these notifications after upgrading to Android 15. Phone Link allows users to access phone notifications, applications, messages, and calls on their computer and has features like using the phone's camera as a webcam and file synchronization. The changes from Android 15 may reduce its utility for many users.
