Windows 10: iPhone not linking with Phone Link app

iPhone not linking with Phone Link app, I scan the QR code using the iphone app and it does nothing? Phone is paired with the computer using bluetooth. All I get in the iphone Link to Windows companion app is 'connecting'. It's been like this for 2+ weeks since the option appeared in the windows Phone Link app. I've tried forgetting the computer and reconnecting to no avail. Any ideas?

Linking iPhone

Hi, janrowett.

I'm Jen, I'm also a Windows user just like you. I'm not working for Microsoft but I'd be happy to help you figure this out.

Do you mean linking your iPhone to Your Phone in Windows? You can link them using the Your Phone app by following the steps in the article I shared below. You can jump to the "HOW TO CONNECT MICROSOFT YOUR PHONE APP WITH IPHONE" section but it's also important to take note that the experience using this feature is different on iPhones than on Android, you can read through the article for more details.

I hope this helps. Feel free to share how it went.

Kind regards.

I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.

The Phone Link - iPhone connection is only available for Windows 11 and it is on beta testing for Windows Insiders.

iPhone Link Problem

Hello Paakhi, this is Emily.

The Phone Link for iPhone is still a very new feature currently available for the Insider community only. There are some known issues related to messaging. You can see if yours might apply to any of these:

Phone Link does not support creating or replying to a group message, or sending or receiving media in messages

Phone Link will not receive the first message from a new recipient in Messages

Phone Link does not support sending images, GIFs, or Memojis

Phone Link cannot show messages if the iPhone’s messages settings are set to not Always “show preview”

Phone Link will not display message conversation history if during use of the app the Bluetooth session disconnects

If your scenario doesn't fit any of the above, please submit a feedback via Feedback Hub (Windows + F key combo). On Step #2 in Feedback Hub, select “Apps” ->” Phone Link” and on step #4 try to recreate the problem and attach relevant screenshots and/or videos.

You can refer to this article, which is where I quoted the information: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/for...
