The latest laptop from Samsung, the Galaxy Book3, has a nifty feature available to users to control Android smartphones using the computer's keyboard, mouse, and clipboard. This is called the "Multi-Control" function, which extends the laptop's built-in peripherals over to smartphones that bring significant accessibility to both devices.
Galaxy Book 3's latest feature will let you keep your hands on your PC while accessing your smartphone without connecting the other devices wirelessly, which is helpful for busy people.
Samsung Galaxy Book3: Multi-Control Feature for Android
Samsung offers a unique experience for the Galaxy Book3 series, which no other Windows computer delivers without third-party apps deliver the same experience. The Multi-Control feature is a built-in feature that allows users to use the computer's peripherals to access their smartphone and use its control whenever it is nearby.
The company already announced this alongside the launch in early February, but for those unfamiliar, this is a great time to start, especially when you own an Android device.
It is similar to the Universal Control offered by the macOS, but it is not limited to Android tablets only, unlike the Mac and iPad exclusivity, as this is also available for smartphones, but it would depend on operating system eligibility.

How to Control your Android Phones using Galaxy Book3
The first thing a user needs is to download the Multi-Control application from the Galaxy Store for their mobile devices. Next, log in using the same Samsung account for both devices, PC and phone alike, to connect it. Also, enable both WiFi and Bluetooth on your Android smartphone.
On the Galaxy Book3, go to Settings, and head to Connected Devices. Scroll down and look for Multi-Control and enable it.
The laptop should detect similar Samsung accounts logged in to connect both smartphones and PCs. Users could also switch positions from left to right, depending on their preference.
