Microsoft on Tuesday announced a big update for Windows 11. The operating system is getting a bunch of features and improvements such as the updated snipping tool, new AI-powered Bing, changes to widgets, and more.

Phone Link for iOS lets you link your iPhone to Windows 11 PC
For the uninitiated, Phone Link is an app that lets users link their phones to their PCs. However, this feature was limited to Android smartphones, so far. Now, finally, the feature is arriving for iPhones.
Similar to how it works on Android, it will let iOS users link their iPhones to Windows PC and then allow them to see the most important details directly on their PC. This includes calls, messages, and phone notifications.
Having said that, you can use iMessage directly from your Windows 11 PC. Also, you’ll be able to make and take calls on your PC.
While Microsoft has announced the feature, it isn’t available directly for Windows 11 users. The early preview of the feature will come on Windows 11 with Windows Insider.
So those who have signed up for the Windows Insider program will be able to use the feature (for now). Even for Insiders, only a small percentage of them will get the feature.
To check if the feature is available, you can open the Phone Link app on your Windows 11 PC. Unlike before, the app will now also show iPhone as an option for linking. Then with the help of Bluetooth, the iPhone can be linked to your Windows 11 PC.
Similar to the interface for Android, iOS users will be able to see their iPhone’s name and battery percentage in the upper left corner. The Phone Link app will make three tabs – Notifications, Messages/Calls, and a tab to see the activities of messages.
