WW 837: A Small Internet Boutique

Beep boop - this is a robot. A new show has been posted to TWiT…

What are your thoughts about today’s show? We’d love to hear from you!

I tried Phone Link for my iPhone 2 weeks ago. All I wanted was to send Messages from the PC, and that worked, great. Then I noticed my airpods stopped connecting, the phone would need a reboot to get them to work. And suddenly the bluetooth connections on both cars stopped working. I had to re-pair to everything in order to get them to connect. As soon as I wiped Phone Link off, everything started connecting just fine again.

Ugh. That didn’t happen to me but now I’m worried!

I had similar issues with Samsung devices. Enabling Phone Link on the PC caused problems with the easy connect and auto handoff featured on my Samsung Buds. They wouldn’t connect easily, when phone calls came in they wouldn’t switch etc. No problems in the car though.

Turned it off and all works properly again.
