Samsung Flow

What if your phone, tablet, and PC could work as one seamless device — without you lifting a finger?

Let’s be honest — juggling multiple devices can feel like a chore. You’re constantly switching between your smartphone, tablet, and laptop, checking notifications, transferring files, and unlocking screens. But what if there was a way to make them all work together as if they were one single, intelligent system? That’s exactly what Samsung Flow delivers. This isn’t just another connectivity app — it’s your personal bridge between devices, designed to make your digital life smoother, faster, and more secure.

Imagine this: you’re sitting at your Windows 10 PC, and instead of typing in a password, you simply unlock your tablet or computer using your smartphone’s fingerprint or iris scanner. That’s biometric authentication in action — a feature that not only saves you time but also adds an extra layer of security to your workflow. No more remembering complex passwords or worrying about someone peeking over your shoulder. Just a quick, secure unlock that feels like magic.

The core experience: how Samsung Flow transforms your daily routine

Once you set up Samsung Flow, the real benefits start rolling in. The app creates a reliable and encrypted connection between your Samsung smartphone and your Windows 10 PC or tablet. This isn’t just about unlocking — it’s about creating a unified ecosystem where your content flows freely.

Effortless content sharing becomes second nature. Need to send a document, photo, or video from your phone to your computer? Just drag and drop or share directly through the app. No cables, no cloud uploads, no waiting. The transfer happens instantly over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, depending on your setup. You’ll feel a sense of liberation as you move files between devices without any friction.

Notification mirroring is another game-changer. You can receive and respond to your smartphone’s notifications directly on your PC or tablet. That means you can see incoming messages, emails, and app alerts on your larger screen without ever picking up your phone. You can even reply to SMS messages, answer calls, or dismiss notifications — all from your computer. This keeps you in the flow of work without constant interruptions.

Mobile hotspot sharing lets you use your phone’s internet connection to get your tablet or PC online instantly. Perfect for when you’re on the go or in a location without reliable Wi-Fi. Just enable the hotspot on your phone, and your other devices connect automatically through Samsung Flow. It’s a simple but powerful way to stay productive anywhere.

Screen mirroring takes things a step further. You can view and control your smartphone’s screen directly on your PC or tablet. This is incredibly useful for apps that work better on a larger display, such as photo editing tools, navigation apps, or even mobile games. You can also use your PC’s keyboard and mouse to interact with your phone — typing long messages becomes a breeze.

Compatibility and setup made simple

Samsung Flow is designed to work with Samsung Galaxy smartphones running Android N (7.0) or higher, and Windows 10 PCs or tablets with the Creators Update (version 1703) and the June 2017 patch (build 15063.413) or later. Not all devices are supported — it depends on your phone’s specific hardware and software configuration. For Windows users, the app is available directly from the Microsoft Store. Keep it updated to unlock the latest features and performance improvements.

One important note: due to changes in Windows security policies, the PC unlock function via biometrics is no longer available. However, the app remains a robust and reliable tool for all other connectivity features. You’ll still enjoy seamless file sharing, notification sync, and screen mirroring.

Permissions you need to know

To function properly, Samsung Flow requires access to nearby devices, notifications, and storage. These are essential for establishing connections and transferring data. Optional permissions — such as access to calls, contacts, and SMS — enable advanced features like answering calls and replying to texts directly from your PC. You can grant these permissions during setup or later in your device settings.

A final word on security and ecosystem

Samsung Flow only works with official Samsung Electronics software. For Windows devices, a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi/LAN connection is required. The app uses encrypted channels to protect your data, ensuring that your files, messages, and notifications stay private. If you’re looking to boost your productivity and simplify your multi-device life, integrating Samsung Flow into your daily routine is a smart move.
