I believe the top alternatives to Apple Continuity Sure are Samsung Flow and other universal tools. For non-Samsung devices, you can use built-in Windows features like calling, messaging, and notifications. To achieve similar functionality, universal apps such as Pushbullet, Crono, and Join are helpful. What do you think? Share your thoughts and suggestions!
there is no substitute on windows/android. nothing like that. you could try some third-party options, but they aren't as reliable or straightforward to configure.
The Google messaging site offers a web version that connects to your phone, letting you view and reply to messages from your computer. You can save the page and add it to your taskbar for easier access. For calls, the "your phone" app is typically the most reliable option, though I haven't personally tested it. Regarding clipboard sync, I'm uncertain. Google Duo is worth exploring if you prefer a Facetime alternative—it supports both Android and Apple devices, enabling video calls with anyone who has the app (and sometimes newer Android users). It also lets you place calls from your computer and works with Google Home devices if you own one.
I understand KDE Connect for Linux provides some features you might want, though not as extensive as Samsung Flow. We still have room for improvement. It works with all Android devices that run Android 5 or later. I mentioned this mainly because they’re developing a Windows version, but I’m not sure about the current progress or restrictions. It could be useful to monitor it later. https://kdeconnect.kde.org It’s free and open-source.
