User Reviews for Link to Windows

Game changing once it works!

For those of you saying that this app doesn’t work and that it’s horrible, of course it doesn’t work since it’s still being rolled out through the Microsoft Insider Program. It might take a few months for it to roll out completely, so be patient! I’m genuinely excited for this to roll out completely and I’m still waiting for my access within the Insider Program. Since I’m more of a Windows user over Mac, I can’t wait to finally send/receive and make/take phone calls!

Messes up Bluetooth

There is a bug where when my phone’s Bluetooth is connected to my computer via this app, it causes any other Bluetooth devices connected to my phone to have an unstable connection. I had my beats connected and their audio would skip every half second or so. I disconnected my phone from my computer and it fixed the problem. The app itself works okay. Sometimes the other person’s messages don’t show up in the desktop window. Once this is fixed I will definitely use the app.

Works Good

It works really well and all. But the only thing, I seem to be having a problem w/ is receiving my messages. Yes I can make a call, receive calls, send texted. But I can’t seem to get messages when people reply’s or text me back. Other than that it works really fine. But you all need to fix that 1 problem that I am seem to be having. In order for me to know that they texted me back. I gotta keep looking on my phone

Way better than Intel Unison

I've been using Intel Unison since it came out but this finally became available to me and I decided to try it out. It's much better than Intels version and it had much fewer bugs. You can't view your photos but I think that the stability is worth the trade off and I use Google photos anyway. Overall it works great.

iPhone sends texts but may not receive

The process to connect my iPhone with PC was simple and I can easily send texts. I wasn’t receiving texts though. After troubleshooting, I found a solution. 1) Turn off Bluetooth on iPhone and computer and close the Phone Link app on computer. 2) On iPhone, go to Settings > Notifications > Messages > set “Show Previews” to “Always”. I had mine previously set to “Never”. 3) Turn Bluetooth back on for iPhone and computer and open the Phone Link app on computer. Now I was able to send and receive texts. Although the above helped for a time, later on I was no longer receiving texts again and had to remove my device from my PC and go through the connection process again. It’s great when it works!

Needs work…

This is more like a proof of concept at this point. Sad given MS quality and output from other apps of late.Notifications are the key as other reviews mentioned. If you have iMessage open on your phone, then no notification is given on the phone, hence does not show up in Windows phone link. Message is apparently lost.if iMessage is NOT open on the phone and Phone Link app is open in Windows then the ‘message conversation’ is not updated but it appears as though the message was received as it shows in notifications. Close and open the Windows phone link application and the message is properly displayed in the message conversation.App is simply not ready for prime time… hoping to see rapid improvements as I have been waiting a while for this functionality.

I applaud MSFT for attempting this, but really bad

One star for the concept. Look, I understand it’s only in Beta. I’m signed up as an insider and providing feedback. But it basically never works so I’m giving up until it’s “real.” Constantly unpairs PC from iPhone. And then basically need to uninstall and reinstall apps on phone and PC and start whole process of turning on and off Bluetooth on both sides, rediscovering devices, reattempting pairing, and so on in a frustrating loop. Meanwhile, the app on the PC almost always freezes before messages and calls appear once paired. And then I get a “disconnected” with a refresh symbol. When I click on refresh, whole set of the above listed problems just starts again. I know MSFT wants users to help debug this noble effort, but I don’t have hours in a day to do so

Dream Come True

I can’t believe I’m able to send and receive messages/calls from my Windows 11 laptop! I joined Windows Insider to access that one feature alone, and after patiently waiting, I finally received my invite to join the preview group. My only desire is that I wish you could access your entire message history from your PC, instead of just messages you sent and received from your PC. I’ll take what I can get, though. Regardless, Phone Link is finally software I no longer have to find a way to uninstall. It works wonderfully for iPhone users now, and I’m so grateful! Thank you, Microsoft!

Bad Experience with it

I installed and proceeded to link my iphone 14. Both phone and computer linked on bluetooth. I tested it by making a call and responding to an email. Worked as promised. THEN after about 20 minutes the troubles began. My computer began to beep and beephile and the screen began to blink. The only way to stop it was to disable the bluetooth. I chatte withe two Microsoft techs and we couldn’t find the problem. Now I am waiting for reinstall of Windows 11 to try to fix the problem. Hope it works so I can use my bluetooth device. Question is if the app caused this problem and if so why.

I applaud 👏 MSFT for creating this but not sure it’s a good idea

I applaud 👏 MSFT for creating this but not sure it’s a good idea. First of all Apple products are built with privacy and security in mind. Windows products = NO. Windows products are ridiculously insecure so much so the antivirus and IT security business is a $200,000,000,000 industry. Antivirus companies came into being in large part because of how insecure MSFT products are. So now you want me to put my IOS secure stuff on to a Windows product? I would seriously consider if you want MSFT having access to all your iOS data before executing this app.
