Does this still work? Using a Lenovo ThinkPad, and I can open Dell Mobile Connect, but when I scan the QR code, I get "Unable to connect" "Please check your network connection and try again" on my iPhone 11.

@Invisible40, Try reinstalling the app on your phone. There is a chance it can setup wrong and break the app.

I've ran this and downloaded the app successfully from the store, however, when I run the app it says This device does meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.

Did you run the bat as admin? I believe you need admin to modify the registry

also it may just not work anymore, Dell could have changed stuff

Hey, I decided to test it out on another PC I had. I am running the latest build of Windows 11 (22H2 (25158.1000)). It still works for me. I followed the same steps that worked before, and everything works as expected.

That worked for me, although I was greeted with the message that the app would be discontinued at the end of the year.

Hey, this is an FYI to everyone.
Microsoft is adding Phone Link support for the iPhone and it looks like a replacement for the Dell Mobile Connect. It appears to be a Windows 11 app only. It is only in the insider build at the moment. See more info here

Yea, I know I’m pretty excited, also I’ve been using Intel Unison instead of dell Mobile connect, it’s essentially the same thing, and it works on any computer…
