Microsoft today announced that it has added iPhone support to the Phone Link app for the Windows 11 platform. Users can make and receive calls, send and receive text messages, and view iPhone notifications directly on their PCs after connecting their PCs to their iPhones through the app.
The Phone Link app is only initially supporting iPhone, and support for iMessage is still limited. Users can send and receive iMessages and SMS text messages through Phone Link, but there is no support for group chats or sending photos and videos.
Tom Warren of The Verge that Phone Link also lacks a full message history of conversations, and all incoming and outgoing messages are shown as gray bubbles, meaning users can’t distinguish between iMessage and SMS text messages.
As reminded by users, this feature is currently limited to the Win11 Dev Channel Preview.
