Dell will be ditching its phone syncing software

Back in 2018, Dell introduced Dell Mobile Connect and Alienware Mobile Connect. These are tools designed for PCs that will allow smartphone users, both iOS and Android, to sync their phones with their PCs so that they can send or receive text messages on their computers and make calls.

Unfortunately, it looks like Dell is done with that because as spotted by Windows Central, a support document on Dell’s website has revealed that the company will be discontinuing support for the softwares and will also be eventually making it so that users will no longer be able to use them.

For those living in the US, Canada, and Japan, the apps will no longer be available for download starting on the 30th of November, 2022, and will stop working on the 31st of January, 2023. If you live elsewhere in the world, the app will no longer be available for download on the 31st of July, 2022, and will stop working on the 30th of November, 2022.

To be fair, there are many smartphone applications that also have a desktop counterpart, not to mention Microsoft has a similar feature baked into Windows called Phone Link, meaning that the need for third-party software isn’t as important anymore. If you’re still using Dell’s apps, then you might want to start looking for alternatives before it’s too late.
