Windows 10: Connecting iPhone to Phone Link. iPhone is not an option for set up.

Trying to pair my iPhone to my new windows 11 computer. Everything is updated fully but when I open the Phone Link app, there is no option to chose iPhone set up, only Android. I have connected my laptop to my iphone via bluetooth and even downloaded the Link to Windows app on iOS. How do I connect my iPhone?

Random Connect to iPhone

Hi!

I'm sitting in front of it my new PC I just bought, minding my own business.

Suddenly a notice pops up and says your photos are ready.. and then I click it and find that all the pics from my iPhone are suddenly copied to the PC into the Photos App. This is so weird because I have never connected my iPhone to the PC. The phone does not sync to iCloud. Besides I don't even have iCloud on the PC.

The iPhone was sitting on the table nearby. I am extremely confused and worried because the PC just randomly copied all the pictures from my phone.

I tried googling but couldn't find anything. I found articles on 'How to connect your iPhone to Windows' and they all had 3-5 steps you had to follow through. But mine just did it on it's own without me wanting to do it!!

Can anyone explain how this happened??? I would love some clue!!!!

 

Phone Link with iPhone, currently no Bluetooth

Hi all,

I was very much looking forward using Phone Link now that I got myself to update to Win 11.

Unfortunately, my PC doesn't support Bluetooth. Hence following questions:

Is there...

1. an update coming where iPhone are able to pair via Wifi?
   
2. a possibility to connect the iPhone via USB / Tethering?
   
3. a way to solely receive and write messages via Windows on my iPhone, with no Bluetooth connection required?
   

If all of this is a no, what would be the easiest way to retrofit Bluetooth? Would any 3rd party USB Bluetooth adapter be sufficient? If so, could you suggest/recommend one?

Thank you very much

-Sebastian

 

iPhone & PC iPhone app

Hello,

Guys have a question regarding the iPhone & iPhone PC App. I love my PC, but I'm missing the messaging eco future that apple implemented while back - between their devices. Initially, when I try connecting via the app, it didn't eves ask for my number to verify between the app and the phone. - So here it goes;

1. I linked my iPhone via PC Phone App, but the phone is not showing in the Microsoft account Devices (online)?
2. When I open the PC Phone App - the only thing that is showing is that connected iPhone and nothing else?
3. I can't even unlink the phone, in order to retry connecting again.
