What you better know
Microsoft Phone Link now works with iPhones.
Photos aren’t supported either on the iOS version.
Microsoft recommends using theiCloud integration with the Windows 11 Photos appinstead.
The limitations of Phone Link are likely due to the closed nature of Apple’s ecosystem.
iMessage and other interoperability features between iOS, iPadOS, and macOS are major selling points for Apple hardware.
Microsoft getting Phone Link to work with iPhones at the level available now could be considered an accomplishment.
As broken down byThe Verge, Phone Link intercepts messages by using a Bluetooth connection.
This setup allows the app to send messages through iMessage (blue bubble gang rejoice).
It does have limitations, however, such as not supporting group messages through iMessage.
Phone Link comes preinstalled on Windows 11, so it’s likely already on your PC.
