Microsoft has announced that its iPhone support for the Phone Link app is now available for all Windows 11 users. iPhone support was first introduced in February with select Windows Insider preview testers. It gradually rolled out to the general public. Android phones have had access to Phone Link since 2015.
Phone Link for iPhone has some limitations compared to Android. For example, it can only sync text messages from iMessage, not group chats or sending media. It also does not support voice messages or iMessage apps. However, it can still be useful for those who want to access their iPhone messages and calls from their PC.
To use Phone Link, you'll need to search for the app in the Windows taskbar. Select your iPhone as your device type when you have the app open. Then, you'll need to scan a QR code with your iPhone camera and pair the devices via Bluetooth. You will also need to grant some permissions on both devices. The app works with any iPhone running iOS 14.0 or later.
