One ofWindows 10’s most useful tools, the Your Phone app, is getting some big improvements that will make it even better, as it will soon allow you to change the settings of your phone via Windows 10.

Microsoft’sYour Phoneapp is an useful utility that lets you connect your smartphone with your Windows 10 device, and by doing so it saves you from picking up your Android device repeatedly to check messages, alerts or even to make or receive calls.

Thanks to constant updates and improvements, Your Phone app has become an extremely useful tool in Windows 10. And, while some important features arelimited to flagship Samsung devices, the app will soon let you control the phones’ settings in real-time.

According toALumia, the next release of Your Phone app will bring a new feature called “Indicator management” that Microsoft has been working on and testing for some time.

Once the feature is rolled out to everyone, users will see a set of four new buttons that will let users toggle settings like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Audio player and Do Not Disturb via Windows 10.
