When you want to copy something like complex code or a long paragraph that’s open on your Windows PC to your Android smartphone, you usually end up copying and sending it to yourself via WhatsApp or email.

As spotted by Windows Latest, Microsoft is testing a clipboard sync feature that will allow you to access your Windows clipboard content on your Android smartphone. However, there are a few things that you need to take care of before you start using this feature.
First, you need to log in to the same Microsoft account on both your Windows PC and your Android smartphone. Next, your Android smartphone must be connected to your Windows PC through the Mobile devices settings. Finally, you need to have the Link to Windows app installed on your Android smartphone and connected to your Windows PC.
