| 3 | Hi nice lady, I'm informed by a Widows10 message that I can by using their app to connect my Android phone to my laptop, As I use my phone for banking only I wonder if this could be a security risk stormbird01 - 2021-04-02 16:06:00 |
| 4 | Ah um... Your description seems to leave some info out. "I'm informed by a Widows10 message that I can by using their app to connect my Android phone to my laptop" Isn't entirely an understandable sentence. You can indeed use an app on the computer which will enable you to both send and receive text messages if/when the phone is nearby but you are using the computer. It's quite handy. It's called 'messages for web'. Is this prehaps what you're referring to ? If so it's completely safe. Otherwise theres other means and reasons you might wish to connect the phone and computer together either wirelessly or by usb cable. Depending on what you wanted to do that would generally be perfectly safe. If you can post the EXACT message it'd be a help.

| 7 | Most likely MS "your phone" that comes with 10. It's quite good, synchs via wifi and supports bluetooth calls from your computer. And yes completely safe, the bank connection has end to end encryption. ronaldo8 - 2021-04-03 13:29:00 |
