    Does it mean the recipient has opened the message or does it mean it has just been delivered to their mobile phone?

    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.

    Windows Phone Link - Messages Send Notification not working

    Thank you for your reply Mosken_L, your assistance is appreciated.

    The information you've listed is:

    • System version: Windows (10) Version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.2604) - I try to keep this up-to-date
    • Phone Link version: 1.22122.94.0
    • Link to Windows version: 1.22122.147.0
    The Microsoft store and the Phone Link app itself state there are no updates available and it is up-to-date. The Google Play store on the Galaxy S22 lists the Link to Windows app as being up-to-date also.

    Windows Settings / Windows Update lists no major pending updates, apart from its usual annoying message about upgrading to Windows 11 which I do not yet wish to do.

    It does seem to be only this particular function that is not working. I am even receiving WhatsApp messages on the Windows PC, but because the Messages "Send Notification" is not working, I am currently unable to receive traditional SMS/MMS messages. I can even screen cast successfully.

    Edit: I have done followed all the suggestions on the troubleshooting page, and have even tried reinstalling both Phone Link and Link to Windows, without success.

    Thank you for any help that you can provide.

    Phone Link and messages

    I installed Phone Link on my new Windows 11 computer yesterday. Phone Link and my iPhone are connected but I don't receive messages in Phone Link, although I can send them. I've had messages sent to me from both android and iPhones but that doesn't make any difference. Any suggestions?

    Thanks.
