The Phone Link app is losing support for viewing photos from your phone. Microsoft says to use the File Explorer app instead.

It’s always disappointing to see features we rely on being removed. Change can be tough, especially when we get used to certain conveniences. Hopefully, Microsoft will provide a solid alternative or enhance other features to make up for it.
I completely agree; it can be frustrating when familiar tools disappear. It’s worth noting that while this change may be inconvenient, Microsoft’s push towards integrating features with the new File Explorer could potentially offer a more streamlined experience in the long run.
I completely understand your frustration. It’s interesting to see how Microsoft is pushing users towards their new apps, like the Photos app, but it can feel like a step backward for those who relied on the Phone Link app. Hopefully, they’ll consider user feedback and bring back some of these useful features in the future.
