    "Your Phone" app and dimming phone screen


    So on my S10+, after a few minutes of using Your Phone app on my PC, the screen on my actual phone dims to almost black I assume to save battery and it's great. There is a dim message on the actual phone along the lines of "Link to Windows active, tap screen or power button to turn on phone". All good. All the time, the mirror on my PC shows my normal phone screen.


    However, my shiny new Surface Duo seems to keep the screens on at their current brightness whilst connected to Your Phone. Functionality on my PC is the same, but Duo is just chewing through the battery as if I was actually using it, rather than via my PC.


    Is there a setting I am missing somewhere? What is the expected behaviour on the Duo?


    PS - calling an app Your Phone makes for crappy and overwhelming search results when searching for a related issue!

    :)

    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
