Windows 10: Microsoft Phone Link "Bluetooth Interruption" Error with IPhone

I am trying to connect my iPhone to the Windows Phone Link app. Messages are working flawlessly, but when I click on the Calls tab, I get an error saying "Bluetooth Interruption, An app may be disrupting your PC's Bluetooth." I am unable to make or receive calls through Phone Link. There are no issues with the version of Windows or the iOS version of my iPhone; these versions are compatible with the app. I have re-paired the two devices dozens of times, but the result is still the same. Can you help me with this issue, what should I do?

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 to pc Bluetooth

Hi DianeFrigon,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums



You may want to answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:

1. Are you getting any error message?
   
2. Have you made any changes to the computer prior to the issue?
   
3. Did you try paring Android mobile to PC?
   

I suggest you to follow the below steps and check if it helps.

Step 1:

Turn on Bluetooth on your iPhone which you link to pair on Windows PC.

Note: Turn on Bluetooth on iPhone, tap settings, tap Bluetooth, and then turn on Bluetooth.

1. Open settings on Windows 10 PC
   
2. Select Devices and select Bluetooth
   
3. Below Manage Bluetooth devices select, turn on the Bluetooth option.
   
   
4. Windows 10 will start searching for Bluetooth devices, in few seconds, your IPhone name will appear in manage Bluetooth devices sections.
   
5. Click on pair button
   
6. It will prompt for the passcode on Windows 10 PC
   
7. Check whether passcode is appearing on your IPhone
   
8. Click Yes button on your PC, and then tap pair option on your IPhone to pair with Windows 10 PC via Bluetooth.
   

Hope it helps

Phone Link for iOS won't let me place calls after connecting, "Bluetooth Interruption - an app may be disrupting your PCs Bluetooth"

Hi I have successfully connected my iPhone to Windows' Phone Link app, but when I try to place a call using my iOS phone number on my PC I get a Bluetooth Interruption error. Is there a way to fix this? I've redownloaded the Phone Link app, restarted the app on my PC and iPhone, and it unpaired and repaired the devices to each other, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem. Help please.
