Microsoft starts rolling out iOS support for Phone Link syncing to all Windows 11 users. Now your computer can be synchronized not only with Android smartphones, but also with devices running iOS.

With Phone Link on Windows 11 and the Link to Windows app on iOS, you can make and receive calls, send and receive iMessage text messages, and view notifications right from your computer.

This feature requires an iPhone running iOS 14 or later and an active Bluetooth connection. Microsoft also clarified that iMessage is limited to text messages in private chats.

All Windows 11 users will have Phone Link sync capabilities with iOS by mid-May.
