Dell will discontinue its ‘Mobile Connect’ service for users and the download option will no longer seem for users in the US, Canada and Japan after November and the service will ultimately stop by January 2023.
Dell Mobile Connect, which is also recognized as Alienware Mobile Connect is used to sync the calls, messages and notifications from mobile to the laptop.
It was launched in 2018 and worked the best with Dell Laptops.
For the uninitiated, Mobile Connect lets users coordinate their iOS or Android devices to their Dell PCs – enabling for text messages, calls and notifications to be displayed on the latter’s screen, as well as shifting files wirelessly from one another. On top of that, the app also allows users to mirror their smartphone screen, which in turn lets them activate the device directly via desktop.
On its support page, the company publicized, “Dell recommends uninstalling Dell Mobile Connect or Alienware Mobile Connect from both your Dell computer and mobile devices by the regional discontinue date. This frees up storage space and ensures an optimum device experience.”
While this service will be discontinued, as per The Verge, Intel has previously bought the software behind Dell Mobile Connect in 2021, called Screenovate. The services by Intel are predictable to be publicized later this year.
