![]() Now when you lock your laptop, the Samsung Flow connection between it and your device gets disconnected so you have to open the Samsung Flow app on your phone as a way to remind it to try and connect so that you can unlock it with your phone. You have to go to the settings within the application on the phone to turn it on. The application also claims to be able to allow you to just unlock your laptop by using the phone’s fingerprint scanner without having to do anything on the laptop. With Samsung flow, it takes two steps, pressing the space-bar (my preferred option) and then putting my finger on the phone’s fingerprint scanner. However, my laptop already has a builtin fingerprint scanner so if I was going to unlock it that way, it would just take a swipe on the scanner and i’m done. ![]() After setup, I locked my laptop and when it got to the lockscreen, I got prompted to press the space bar or swipe up then just place my finger on my phone to unlock it. Pairing the devices wasn’t that hard as I just needed to launch the application on both of them and just click a few buttons to accept the pairing. It’s a bit of a shame that the application couldn’t just turn on the Bluetooth for me. From reading the how the application works, I discovered that it needed Bluetooth so I turned it on and then it worked. At first, I got an error that my laptop didn’t have the minimum requirements. I had not used Samsung Flow until today and so I decided to install the application both on my laptop and my device. Android Phone: Android Mashmallow OS or newer (Galaxy S8, S8+, S7, S7 Edge, S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, Note 5, A5, A7, etc.).Android Tablet: Android Nougat OS or newer (Galaxy Tab S3, etc.).Windows Tablet/PC: Windows 10 OS Creators update or newer (15063.413) (Galaxy TabPro S, Galaxy Book, PC).The Samsung flow application also allows users to quickly transfer files from their laptop to their devices and receive notifications. Flow requires being on the same WiFi network or connect via Bluetooth.Samsung has recently updated its Samsung Flow application to allow user with Samsung galaxy devices that have fingerprint scanners to unlock their windows 10 laptops with them. At least this one is key for me at work, since our mobile devices are not allowed to connect to the same network as our workstations. Oh, and a key one for me: it works even if you're not on WiFi or you're connected to a different network. Notifications tend to be very reliable for me, and it's still the easiest way for me to pull out a photo I just took into my PC. You also get a small icon on the bottom right to quickly launch the 3 most recent apps you've used on your phone. One thing that is cool about Your Phone on Windows 10 and 11 is that you can pin your mobile apps to the Taskbar to launch directly into them. Flow still gets some bugfixes and stability updates, but no new functionality. But since the integration of Microsoft's Your Phone app, that has become the official link to PC system for Samsung. Samsung Flow is simply Samsung's own solution they built years ago around the Galaxy S7's time, if I remember correctly.
