Windows 10: regarding Phone Link and an iPhone

Hello, I have been using Phone Link on my Windows PC and Android phone for years. I just got an iPhone and set it with Phone Link and had a few questions. 1- Do contacts on the iPhone not come over? 2- While reading Troubleshooting for Phone Link in one place it states that only messages sent/rec'd using Phone Link will show, not any from the iPhone....but a bit further down the page it states that only messages sent and rec'd while the iPhone and Phone Link are paired and connected will show....so wondering which is it! Thanks

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

 

Phone Link won't send/receive MMS texts (iPhone)

I'm using Windows 11 Pro (version 21H2) with Phone Link installed (version 1.23102.126.0).
I've synced Phone Link to my iPhone 12 Pro Max (iOS 17.2.1).

I can send and receive SMS text Messages, but not MMS texts (including group messaging and images).

How can I send/receive MMS messages with Phone Link?

Steps taken:

• Update both devices' OS and relevant apps to their latest versions.
  
• Pair and sync iPhone to Phone Link and successfully send calls and SMS messages.
  
• Reset Phone Link app (delete and reinstall, not allowed)
  
• Trouble shoot the steps on the relevant Microsoft Support page (Troubleshooting for messages in the Phone Link - Microsoft Support). (I'm not using third party messaging apps on my phone because Apple won't allow them. And I've made sure I'm running the latest versions.)
  

Still, Phone Link says "Content type not supported" when I copy and paste an image (.PNG, .JPG) in the "Send a message" field.

 

Iphone gets unreal engine!

Pretty cool for a phone to do this. Still wouldnt use an iphone if you paid me but it is a step in the right direction.
