Microsoft's Your Phone app now lets you control music on your Android from a Windows 10 PC

Microsoft started testing the ability to control music from your Android on your Windows 10 machine at the end of April, and now it's rolling out to users.

The music or audio track you're playing on your smartphone can be seen on the Your Phone PC app. It displays a mini-player at the bottom left of the app with album art, song title, artist, what app is playing the track, and music control buttons similar to built-in Windows 10 music controls.

Google Play Music library transfer to YouTube Music goes live for some users

As Google works to transition its users from Google Play Music to YouTube Music, one crucial aspect is importing libraries. A recent story from Droid Life reports that the ability to transfer your content is now available, at least for some users. You can check if it's available on your account through this link: music.youtube.com/transfer. You'll just need to click on a single button at the bottom of the screen to start the process.

The capability should be available on the YouTube Music app, but it doesn't seem to be available there for some users. They tried using the web portal (which we linked to above) and got it to work. Google appears to be rolling this feature in waves, so if you don't have it yet, keep checking in.

Facebook on Android preps dark mode, coronavirus tracker

9to5Google shows screenshots of the yet-to-be-released dark mode on Facebook mobile. You can opt to enable it within the app or adopt your phone's universal dark mode settings. Dark mode on Facebook is a lot greyer than black, but that's still enough to help with lessening its strain on your battery or your eyes when you use it in low-lit areas.
