Microsoft’s Phone Link app, which allows users to access iMessage and notifications from their iPhone to their Windows 11 PC is out, and it apparently needs some work.
The Phone Link app, which has been available to Android users for a while now, has begun to surface for Windows 11, allowing users to send and receive messages via Apple’s iMessage system. The iPhone Link app will also display iOS notifications and allow users to make and receive calls from their PC.
Unfortunately, there are some severe limitations. Users won’t be able to send photos or videos in messages or participate in group chats. In addition, people won’t see the entire message history in conversations, as the app will only display messages sent or received through Phone Link.
Windows 11 users can check to see whether the Phone Link app is available for their computer by searching for “Phone Link” in the Windows taskbar. If available, a guided step-by-step installation will walk users through the process of setting it up.
Microsoft has also noted that this feature is iPhone-exclusive and does not work with iPadOS or macOS.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
