Hello, I think I found something that worked for me on Samsung ultra-22. The issue is not with the phone link app but with the device. You have to disable "stay on lock screen until swipe" option in device settings. Hope it works for everyone!
New issue with unlocking my Samsung phone via phone link app on PC

I've been using the "Phone Link" app on my computer and mobile and this has let me mirror my phone on my computer and enabled me to unlock the phone screen from my PC. However I'm no longer able to unlock from the PC and it is showing the following message: "Unlock on your phone. To keep your credential private and secure, we need you to unlock your phone to continue." Can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue?

Left phone link feedback.......Seems like Microsoft has ignored the Accessibility issue this has caused

Some of the more interesting apps being:
Quick Share
Samsung Flow
Samsung Account
SamsungPhone
While these don't fully overcome the functionality lost by Phone Link, they do make it a bit easier to stomach I guess.

What inherent benefit does phone link have over unison or other screen casting services now.

Thank you for your advice
I do use Samsung Flow. However that has the same requirement to unlock the phone each time
Also now the older version of phone link doesn't connect at all...guess it to outdated. Had to stop using it.
Trying to see how I can cast the lockscreen directly to Windows 11.
Thank you
