  1. Is the Your Phone app/Microsoft Phone Link safe and secure to use over public WiFi?


    Hi, I love using the Your Phone App for Windows 10. I know the requirement says both the phone and computer need to be connected on the same WiFi network to work and communicate. Since communication is happening over WiFi, I'm wondering how secure it is. Is it safe to use the Your Phone App on a public WiFi say a hotel, starbucks, etc., or is there risk of exposing personal data because the data isn't encrypted?

    :)

    I think I'll put a list of people's favourite apps in the OP, starting with my own until I get some suggestions, but you can take a look at the Windows Phone app store at the top apps to see what's popular http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store

    New Phone Insider app for Windows 10 preview for Phones?


    Unfortunately, at the moment, there's no way to sign into the app, which would suggest that it's not ready for the public to fully check out.

    Microsoft already has a Preview for Developers app for Windows Phone 8.1 that allows users to download new builds of the OS before they are made available to wireless carriers. This new app would seem, at first glance, to be something different. However, we stress that Microsoft has yet to officially state they are launching a preview version of Windows 10 for smartphones. So take this speculation (and everyone else's) with a grain of salt.
