Windows 10: How to text on windows if you have an Iphone

Hi, I'm wondering how I can text from my laptop. I have an Iphone. What is the alternative. Thanks.

Apple iPhone in Autoplay list


I am unable to remove the listing in Autoplay for Apple Iphone and I spent numerous hours trying to remove it with no luck at all. I followed the steps using the registry as well, still it is shown on the AutoPlay listing.
Spoke to one IT helpdesk agent and said the only way to get rid of it is to just reinstall Windows in order to remove that option from the list.

I even re-inserted my iPhone to my machine and uninstalled the drivers from Device Manager under Portable Devices.

Obsolete devices in Autoplay list multiple entries for same - Microsoft Community

Update >> I managed to remove it under Devices and Printers. Looks like it does not work under Device Manager.

 

Cortana, iPhone and Text messaging

No, you do not have this correct.

When I sent a text message with Cortana on my desktop, it sent it through my secondary Windows phone.

I want it to send text messages using my iPhone number.

I understand this feature is working with Cortana with Android. Is it possible to make it work with Cortana for iOS.

Many applications on the iPhone use my Microsoft Account. Therefore it would make sense that I should see the iPhone on the device list even if it is not a Microsoft product.

 

IPhone text messages

This worth looking at although it may not be entirely what you want. I did look to see if there was an app to transfer iPhone texts to Windows 10 but the only ones I saw cost around $30

That said if you just want to see and reply to texts via your PC, this might do the trick.

unfortunately, with this app, you cannot get all the features but it might be useful

What can I do with the Your Phone app?

The Your Phone app on Windows 10 lets you:

• Link your phone and PC to unlock a variety of cross-device experiences for Android and iPhone.
• See recent photos from your phone on your PC for Android only.
• View and send text messages from your PC for Android only.

I do use it and it works well, in fact, really well but I have an Android device. I have never used an iPhone and I am aware there are features missing for the iPhone version.
