Similarly, you must sign in to sync the Edge app on the computer or Android device you want to receive the link.

Step 2: Send Link to Connected Device

Now that we have signed in with the same Microsoft account on different devices, you can use these connected devices to send and receive the links. To send a link, follow these steps:

1. Launch the Edge app and open any webpage you need to send.
2. Tap the More button for the menu list and select the Send to Devices option.
   It will display the list of synced devices.

Step 3: Open the Link in the Connected Device

If you’ve sent the link to your computer devices, the Edge browser will notify you when the link arrives. You can click on the notification/link to open the link in your browser app.

Similarly, for any other smartphone device, you can launch the Edge app. It should display a notification along with the link to open. Tap the Open command on the start screen to browse the page.

Bottom Line

Instead of sending page links via social media or email, directly share them with the device synced on the browser. However, you must use the same Microsoft account across the devices to display under the ‘Send links to your devices’ list.

Similarly, using the Edge app, you can connect and send links from your Android phone and computer. However, the Edge on computer use the YourPhone app.
