Phone app / iphone with windows 10


I noticed there is a phone app and also in settings phone where windows 10 offers to link up with your iPhone or Android. Does anyone know what it does? Seems interesting as to what it’ll do but at the same time sounds risky. I’d be wary of it having a bad impact on my iPhone as Microsoft gets their claws into some kind of synchronisation. At the moment my iPad, iPhone and Mac work wonderfully in sync with each other updating photos, messages, contacts etc. Will bringing my windows 10 pc into the party be a recipe for disaster?

Primarily I use iMessage on my iphone and iPad for texts, does this mean imessages may be able to be sent from my windows 10 pc. Although if it means to maintain a sync that it all has to be done through the iOS cortana app then I will definetely give it a swerve as I prefer to use all the native iOS apps for things like messaging, mail etc

 

unlinking a iphone

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Linking the phone and the PC allows you to start browsing the web, writing emails and using apps on the phone and then continue on your PC, instantly.



There is an option in Windows 10 to ‘Manage all devices linked with your Microsoft account’.



I would suggest you to refer the section ‘How do I unlink my phone and PC?’ in this article on ‘Linking
your phone and PC help’.



Hope it helps.
