To get started with Phone Link, users are guided through a setup process that will pair their iPhone to their PC over Bluetooth.<\/p>\n

This includes scanning a QR code shown on the screen confirming the phone by matching a code shown on the iPhone to the code displayed in Phone Link. When pairing is complete, users are asked to grant a set of permissions that allows content to be synced to their PC.<\/p>\n

As the last step, Phone Link will direct users to grant permissions on their iPhone within the phone\u2019s Bluetooth settings which is what will allow them to receive their phone\u2019s notifications on their PC and access their contacts.<\/p>\n

When setup is complete, Phone Link will then offer basic support for calls, messages and contacts, but it has some limitations. For example, it won\u2019t support replying to group messages or sending media in messages. And because the messages are session-based, they\u2019ll only come through when the phone is directly connected to the PC.<\/p>\n

Notifications, meanwhile, will be delivered to the PC through Windows notifications. That means users can check them, pin them and dismiss them from the Windows interface.<\/p>\n

Phone Link requires an iPhone with iOS 14 or higher, Windows 11, a Bluetooth connection and the latest version of the Phone Link app, which is preinstalled with Windows 11. Support is not available for iPad (iPadOS) or MacOS at this time.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
