Scroll wheel in phone link?

Phone Link is great to access android apps running on my phone. However, scrolling is very cumbersome. Is there a way to simply use the mouse scroll wheel to scroll rather then having to click and drag with the mouse? If not, is there a place to request this feature?

    I'm also curious about the "no way to do this" response. It worked fine until recently, as others have said.

    I stopped using Reminders in Cortana for this exact same reason two or three years ago. Out of the blue, you couldn't scroll through the hours and minutes to set the time. Seriously annoying.

    Some of us who work on computers all day have RSIs and do as little clicking as possible. Making us click and drag - in extremely narrow and disappearing scroll bars, no less - is just mean, Microsoft!

    It's crazy that this is a thing. Like, what kind of computer application doesn't let you scroll? It won't even let me scroll in the What's New, or Settings tab. The nonresponse from Elise was also insanely useless. ****? Is this happening to only a small subset of people? What OS are you guys on? I'm on Windows 10. Maybe this is Microsoft trying to force the last holdouts onto Windows 11?

    Microsoft has the Sadim Touch.

    Anything it takes over, Messenger, Nokia and Skype are excellent examples for this, it destroys.

    It has now taken a well performing application and crippled it.

    I sometimes wonder if there is a dark evil force in Microsoft whose only remit is to give Microsoft a bad name. They are succeeding.

    Now, if it was open sourced, it might be possible to see the breaking change? The only alternative is to revert the install to an older one. Of course Microsoft don't allow you access to older versions, so we have to use a third party site, with all those implications.

    Hi Mike,

    I'll take a 3rd party solution to this problem, if you have one.

    Thx,

    Gaylen
