If you own an Apple smartphone but your computer works on Windows, then there’s no way or tech support available for you to connect your iMessage, FaceTime on your PC.

But that will soon change as tech giant Microsoft recently announced that it is adding iPhone support to its Phone Link app on Windows 11 to allow Apple users to receive and make phone calls through their PC.

Not just this, but iPhone users will also get to send and receive text messages directly through their PC.

The tech giant is initially rolling out the preview to Insiders who have opted in their device into one of the 3 Insider Channels via Settings inside Windows Update option in Windows Insider Program.

“We are beginning this preview with a small percentage of Insiders at first throughout this week, which means not all Insiders will see the preview right away,” Microsoft said, adding that it will increase the availability of the preview to more Insiders over time depending on the feedback they receive from the initial roll out.

If you receive the preview of Phone Link for iOS, you will need to select your iPhone, appearing on the Phone Link homepage.

In case you see the iPhone button greyed out with a coming soon message, it means you are not yet in the preview and can’t use the feature.

Once you select iPhone, the guided installation will start in order to pair your iPhone.

You will then be directed to follow a set of steps that will lead you to connect your iPhone and PC over Bluetooth.

This will kickstart once you have scanned a QR code flashing on your screen.

Now move on to the confirmation steps that will help Microsoft to confirm that the smartphone and PC are in range.

At last, Phone Link will ask you for permission on your iPhone in the Bluetooth settings.

This is an important step and will help flash correct information about your contacts in Phone Link from your iPhone.
