With WSA you could duplicate your phone on your desktop, in case you misplaced your phone.
I never would have guessed it, girl. I have you beat by 3 years.
Meaning what exactly? There is no sim card slot in my desktop and even if some software managed to duplicate a sim card, there is no radio in my desktop either, so how on earth can it duplicate my phone?
Simple, your phone is online, your desktop is online, and that's how you "RDP" your phone from your desktop, with no sim in your desktop.
Thank you.Bree, Love what you do, and how well you do it. Peace!

Even if your phone is offline, you could still work with the content of your phone depending on how you set up the sync between the two, presumably similar to how you work with offline OneDrive.
'Find My Phone' may still work if your phone is switched off, depending on how you configure things.
etc.
All of the above is well within WSA potential, it is really just old technologies adapted to the WSA platform.
Although there may be true innovation also, e.g. plug a sim in a USB slot of your desktop and do even more with true cloning.
Of course, it takes a little army of code monkeys to make it all happen
Edit: I am well aware that phone cloning is fraught with legal issues, so it may take a little army of legal monkeys too

Well, as I wrote in another thread, I like redundancy. Usually, I use a phone as a phone and a computer as a computer. But it's nice to be able to use the phone as a computer and the computer as a phone.I don't know, call me old-fashioned, but I use my phone to make calls and my computer to compute and communicate.

Although it does get harder to learn new things as we age, we don't have the "copyright"! Younger folks can be just as technically challenged.
I helped a number of Senior pilots during my 30+ years in Air Traffic Control, most were still extremely sharp. Last place I was at was on the list to be modernized [closed/consolidated] and I retired just before the weather reports changed to METAR, didn't have to learn something new. Then got a job in a computer shop.
