Microsoft has initiated testing improvements to the Phone Link app for iPhone users, enhancing file sharing capabilities to resemble those experienced with Android devices. This initiative allows Windows Insiders to share files smoothly between their iPhones and PCs using a new setup dialog introduced in the latest app update.
The update, available for Windows Insiders, enables users to share files via the share sheet on iOS, facilitating the transfer of files from iPhone to PC through the 'Link to Windows' app, ensuring a user-friendly experience.
While Microsoft has made strides in integrating the Phone Link app with iOS, the experience remains limited compared to Android due to Apple's restrictions, such as the inability to mirror phone apps on PC and only supporting iMessage messaging to single contacts.
The recent update of the Phone Link app aims to enhance user experience but still requires the app to be open on the iPhone to send messages, relying on a workaround involving Bluetooth and system notifications.
