Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues from track people! CTOnews.com, April 27 / PRNewswire-FirstCall-Asianet /-- Microsoft today announced the launch of iPhone support for Windows 11 Phone Link applications, which the company said will be available to all Windows 11 users worldwide by mid-May.

Through the Phone Link app on Windows 11 and the Link to Windows app on iOS, iPhone users can answer phone calls, send and receive text messages and view notifications directly on their computers. This means that Windows 11 can indirectly support iMessage, but CTOnews.com notes that there are some limitations, such as not supporting group chat, pictures, videos, and history.

In the Phone Link app, all messages are shown as gray bubbles, which means that iMessage and SMS messages cannot be distinguished on the computer. In addition, messages can only be sent to the computer if the iPhone is connected via Bluetooth. Microsoft says iPhone must be running iOS 14 or later, and iPad or Mac does not provide this feature.

Microsoft has been testing iPhone support for Phone Link applications since February. Phone Link app is a new application launched by Microsoft to make it easier for Windows 11 users to synchronize with their phones, replacing the previous Your Phone Companion app, which allows users to filter notifications, answer calls, use mobile apps, and so on. It also has a special feature for Samsung phones, Instant Hotspot, which allows users to share the network with their computers through their phones.

In addition to Samsung phones, the Phone Link app also supports most Android devices, as long as the Link to Windows (LTW) app is installed. For certain models of Samsung phones, the Link to Windows (LTW) app is already pre-installed. The Phone Link app is a feature of Windows 11 and one of the fruits of Microsoft's cooperation with Samsung.
