From here you can read and reply to SMS messages, check the gallery and quickly transfer photos from your phone to your PC. You can also synchronize smartphone notifications in the Windows 10 side panel. This function is useful for all those applications that do not yet have a counterpart on a PC such as Snapchat, for example.

You can access the gallery, manage SMS and view all incoming notifications on your smartphone without having to take it out of your pocket. You can delete notifications one by one or all in groups but unfortunately, you cannot yet interact with these notifications for example by responding to a WhatsApp message.
