Microsoft Begins Launching iOS Support for Phone Link
Microsoft started rolling out iOS support through its Phone Link app, making it available to a wider audience available for Windows 11 users as well. The software allows users to sync their calls, contacts, and messages to their personal computers.
Now, the company is offering the Phone Link on Android devices that date back to 2015 and expects all of the iOS support to be rolled out to users by mid-May. Once users are able to get the feature, the easiest way to link the devices altogether is by typing out 'Phone Link' into the search bar on Windows. Additionally, the software works on a session foundation so the new messages will come through when it is connected together.
