We constantly get bombarded with notifications on our smartphones, and sometimes we cannot ignore them. However, things can get particularly irritating if you constantly shift focus towards your phone while working on essential tasks on your PC.

If you are someone who does not like pesky phone notifications interrupting your workflow, then read on to learn how you can view phone notifications on your Windows 10 PC.

1. Your Phone—Windows 10

Microsoft replaced the legacy Phone Companion app with Your Phone in Windows 10. Your Phone is a powerful app that can connect Android and iOS devices to your Windows 10 PC.

Your Phone is installed in Windows 10 by default if you have installed the Windows 10 April 2018 update or later. It is also available on the Microsoft Store in case you may have uninstalled it inadvertently.

Your Phone is compatible with Android 7.0 and later devices. While Microsoft officially provides support for Apple iPhones in Your Phone, you are pretty limited with the number of features available.

Microsoft developed Your Phone with Android in mind, and it is no surprise that most Android users love the app. With Your Phone, you can easily manage your entire Android smartphone through one desktop app; this dramatically boosts productivity and prevents workflow interruptions.

Your Phone makes it possible for users to manage notifications, make calls, access apps, and photos and even share files between your PC and Android smartphone. You can also mirror your Android device with Your Phone and control the screen through your Windows 10 PC.

iOS users will have to download the dedicated Microsoft Your Phone app through the App Store, but Android users only need to enable the Link to Windows option in the Settings.

All in all, Microsoft's Your Phone is a fantastic app that gives you complete control over your Android device and makes it super easy to view and manage phone notifications on Windows 10.

2. Pushbullet

Pushbullet aims to connect your different devices through a single platform. Similar to Microsoft’s in-house Your Phone app, PushBullet too can manage notifications on PC, send and receive text messages, share files, and much more. While Pushbullet was previously available on both iOS and Android, it now only supports Android devices.

Pushbullet on Google Chrome

Android users need to install the Pushbullet app on their device from the Google Play Store and then use the Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browser extension to set it up.

With Pushbullet, you can check your Whatsapp messages, phone calls, and texts without physically unlocking the phone. As a result, Pushbullet will reduce unnecessary mobile phone screen time and bring about a more accessible workflow mechanism.

3. AirDroid

AirDroid is another app you can use to view phone notifications on Windows 10. There are many other features available in AirDroid as well; these include remote phone control, link and notes sharing, remote camera, find phone, and you can even send and receive calls or SMS straight off AirDroid.

Yes, it is pretty similar to Pushbullet, and AirDroid even offers file-sharing capabilities and AirMirror. The best thing about AirDroid is that it is entirely free, with no advertising strings attached. You can manage your phone on Windows 10 through AirDroid by downloading the desktop app or using the web client.

Like Pushbullet, AirDroid currently only supports Android devices, but the company plans to provide iOS support in the near future. To use AirDroid, you need to download the AirDroidapp on your Android device from the Google Play Store and the accompanying desktop client on your Windows PC.
