To start, make sure your PC is a part of the Windows Insider Program from Settings > Windows Update > Windows Insider Program. However, if you enroll your PC in the Insider Program, you could be selected, and your Phone Link app could automatically update to allow you to connect your iPhone to Windows.
Microsoft is only rolling out the update to a limited number of Insiders at first, and will expand testing to more Insiders once they receive feedback from the initial rollout. This time, however, you might need to wait to get in. Typically, that’s a fine deal: You enroll your PC in the Insider Program from Settings > Windows Update > Windows Insider Program, and you can try out new features before other Windows users. The app is its initial stages, and is available as part of the Windows Insider Program. Phone Link for iOS is in Insider perk for now
It’s a far cry from what you’d expect from iMessage on a Mac, and more limited than Phone Link for Android, but, hey, it’s iMessage on Windows.
If you want to reference a message sent even a second before you got the app up and running, you’ll need to grab your iPhone. Perhaps most frustrating is the fact you can’t access any messages prior to setting up Phone Link for iOS. In addition, there’s no support for media at this time, so you can’t send or receive photos, videos, GIFs, etc. While you’ll be able to keep up with individual iMessage and SMS threads, you won’t be able to participate in group chats. Before you get too excited, know that as it stands, the feature is fairly limited. Microsoft announced Phone Link for iOS, an update for its Phone Link app, will allow users to send and receive iMessages and SMS text messages (as well as place and receive phone calls) by connecting their iPhones to their Windows PCs. Phone Link for iOS enables iMessage on your Windows PC While Android remains an iMessage-free platform for the moment, you can now blue-bubble message your iPhone friends from your Windows PC. Luckily, the times are a-changin’, and it is not longer entirely up to Apple which devices we can use to send and receive iMessages. IMessage is Apple’s golden goose, ensuring many iOS users never dare stray from the Apple ecosystem, lest we end up a dreaded green text on someone else’s iPhone.
