Similar to how it works on Android, it will allow iOS users to link their iPhone to a Windows PC and then let them view the most important details right on their PC. This includes calls, messages, and phone notifications.

Having said that, you can use iMessage right from your Windows 11 PC. Also, you will be able to make and receive calls on your PC.

While Microsoft announced the feature, it is not directly available to Windows 11 users. Early preview of the feature will appear on Windows 11 with Windows Insiders.

So those who signed up for the Windows Insider Program will be able to use the feature (for now). Even for Insiders, only a small percentage of them will get the advantage.

To check whether the feature is available or not, you can open the Phone Link app on your Windows 11 PC. Unlike before, the app will now also show iPhone as the tethering option. Then with the help of Bluetooth, iPhone can be linked to your Windows 11 PC.

Similar to the Android interface, iOS users will be able to see the iPhone’s name and battery percentage in the upper left corner. Phone Link will create three tabs – Notifications, Messages/Calls, and a tab to see message activities.
