    Phone link that works with Google Pixel 6?

    Hey guys;
    I have Link to Windows on my Pixel 6 Android 13 phone, and Phone Link on my Windows 11 PC.
    Only message, phone, music player, and photos, but not phone apps work on the PC.
    I Googled, and it appears that Microsoft Phone Link has limited functionality with Google Pixel phones.

    Is there another app that might work better?

    Thanks for your help

    Pixel was supposed to have an app streaming feature coming but I haven't heard anything about it recently. It wasn't as robust either as it used a browser window.

    Samsung devices are the only ones that have full functionality with Phone Link.

    Motorola has Ready For but I've never used a Moto device to be able to say how well it works.

    I had a Samsung A51 before the Pixel 6. That's how I remember the feature allowing use of all apps on the PC. While I didn't use the feature much, I was curious as to why I couldn't use it on the Pixel 6.
    That Galaxy A51 was one of the 'worst' phones I ever owned. Full of bloatware, and very annoying. I am loving the Pixel 6, but only recently began using Link to Windows due to missed texts while using my Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones.
    I would elaborate on that problem, but it's not a phone issue; it's Windows.
    In short, I cannot hear texts or other notifications on the headphones while paired to both the Pixel 6 and Windows 11 PC using the Sony Connect app. The headphones did work as expected when paired with two phones. Same thing happened when I had the Galaxy A51, so I know it's not the Pixel 6.
    Anyway, I probably should post in one of the Windows forums about that problem.
