Originally spotted by the folks over at TechDows, the functionality is now live and available in the most recent update of the Windows 10 Your Phone app. Brandon LeBlanc, Senior Program Manager, Windows Insider Program, wrote in an announcement on the company’s official blog April 29th:
“We’re excited to preview another exciting feature, which will allow you to control your music and audio apps from within the Your Phone app. Now you can access and control the audio apps playing from your phone directly within the app, without needing to split your attention between devices or breaking your workflow. Your audio tracks will remain in sync between your phone and PC, and you can switch between multiple sources using the dropdown in the player. Give it a try and let us know what you think!”
