HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Finally, iPhone users can access text messages, calls and notifications on a WINDOWS computer! Microsoft's new Phone Link software is rolling out in 2023 (replacing "Your Phone").
It's not difficult to set up, but there are a bunch of little steps. This video walks you through the whole process in detail, including:
- Hardware and software requirements and how to check them
- How to pair your phone and computer
- A quick look at the Phone Link software and its limitations
Plus, a "recap" page at the end so you don't have to write everything down as you watch.

Great tutorial. If I had seen it first, I would not have wasted an hour trying indistinct and misleading other guides. Thank you very much!!
You're so welcome!
Great Lesson! Easy to follow. Thanks for the step by step guide.
You explained it beautifully. Thanks for the help!
Thank you kindly!
That was a great tutorial! Thanks for the step by step guide.
Well done. Thank you. I'll keep looking for an application that also shares photos and videos with iphone.
( the "Intel Unison" app does that.... avlbl in MS Store for the PC, and APP store for the phone ... need the app in both ...then works fine between Windows 11 and Iphone).
What the HECK!! I am 72 yrs old and although I have been computer literate for MANY years, this is ridiculously complicated.🤯 WTF
Agreed. It’s not the most efficient process, but it’s not HARD; you’re basically just clicking through until you get all the permissions set.
Great tutorial!!! Now you can send emoji's but I can't talk through my PC or transfer my call to my PC.
Thank you! I was trying to connect my phone so I could access some of the apps on my phone, on my computer. I have a graphing calculator app that I would like to open on the computer. If you have any suggestions, let me know. THANKS again!
Why not just get a graphing calculator app from the Microsoft Store for your computer?
Please do a video how to transfer calls to PC or how to talk through PC
I will take a look at that, thanks!
Thank you this helped
Glad to hear it!
Can I access pictures and videos by connecting?
Thanks
I tried and worked well. But I don’t see my photos and videos on my laptop
Its great help keep it up!!
Thanks!
thank you
Welcome!
Doesn't work for me. I keep getting a screen that says "unable to complete pairing". It says to remove both devices from each other and then turn off Bluetooth on both for 10-15 seconds, then turn Bluetooth back on and try again. I can't remove the phone from the PC. It keeps saying "remove failed".
It is not the smoothest process or most reliable process, sadly. I would check the bluetooth settings on the phone as well, and see if the computer is there (delete it if so). Restart both the computer and the phone, and try again. Good luck!
@@computersdotmom As it turns out, you have to have bluetooth turned on for both devices, then you have to go to your bluetooth settings on the PC and add the phone. Then do the Phone Link connection. If you go to your bluetooth settings on the phone first and add the PC, it will pop up a dialog on the PC and it will tell you that the devices are paired, but Phone Link won't recognize that connection.
@@johnnasta interesting! Sounds like you got it working. Bravo!
@@computersdotmom Yes it's working. The key is to let the PC find the phone, not the other way. I love being able to text from the PC while the phone is sitting in the charger. I'll have to look into what else it can do. Thanks.
what iphone are you using? because i have the same problem but it won't let me connect my phone to the PC thru ur method for some reason. It doesn't show the devices on either PC or phone.
Doesnt work with windows 10?
do I need to download the phone link to my pc>I do not have it on
If you don't have it, you probably need to do Windows Update
So it can’t work for Windows 10 ? Only 11!?
I just ran update and my iPhone button is still greyed out.
You might need to do more updates to get the right version
it did not work for me
Try restarting your computer; check the permissions on the phone.
R.I.P Windows 10 Users
Amazingly, there are still more of them than Windows 11!
@@computersdotmom its lighter weight and easier to use, so people just stuck to 10 lol
i edge to this
No idea what that means, but okay
Windows 11 has for android only.
That is true UNTIL you get the update that includes the iPhone, as I explain at the beginning of the video. If you don't have it yet, keep doing Windows update and eventually you will. If you're in a rush, you can sign up with the Windows Developer program and get updates earlier--but that is riskier, fair warning, because you're more likely to encounter bugs.
You may need to remove Phone link and reinstall Phone link in order to change the default to Android. Here's a video on how to do it. ruclips.net/video/zVZStIy-drE/видео.html
It doesn't work. Plain and simple. The left hand part of the screen says phone connected and even show the battery percentage of my IPhone. There are no messages and on th right side of the screen is says "We weren't able to connect your mobile device" even though it is ovuously connected. They need to fix this junk or get rid of it. Dell had a product that was supposed to do the same thing. The discontinued it.
Did you try restarting everything? Cant hurt….
that's windows 11 I search windows 10
So it can’t work for Windows 10 ? Only 11!?
Yes it works for RECENT versions of Windows 10. If you don’t see the option, you might need to update to a newer version of Windows 10. That should be free.

Sorry for the slow reply. Yes it works with Windows 10 so long as you have at least the May 2019 update.
