You may link an iPhone to a PC running Windows 11 so that you can get iPhone notifications, respond to text messages, and even make calls from the computer. It’s not as good as what you get when you link Windows to an Android phone, which lets you view images taken with the device and even use phone apps on your PC. However, it’s a little wonder that there is even this level of compatibility considering how tightly Apple maintains control over its closed ecosystem.
The Windows 11 Phone Link app is responsible for the PC/smartphone synergy. It’s easier than you would think to follow the steps we walk you through below.
