At long last, you can link your iPhone with a Windows PC—at least, you can if you’re running Windows 11. Anyone still on Windows 10 isn’t missing out on as much as you might think, though. You don’t get the same experience as when pairing an iPhone with a Mac. So while you can use Microsoft’s Phone Link app to interact with your iPhone’s text messages, make phone calls, and see phone notifications, some functions come with caveats, particularly texts:
• Group, picture, and other media messages won’t show in conversation threads. You will see notifications for those kinds of incoming messages, though.
• Message conversations only show texts that were sent and received after pairing, and only upon the second message received from a contact—even if you have an ongoing thread
