In its most recent move for its Windows 11 operating system, Microsoft is allowing iPhones to use its Phone Link feature, even though Cupertino devices are already qualified to use its alerts and other features on the PC. Microsoft said on the last day of February that an iPhone user preview of the Phone Link, which extends the phone-to-PC link to Apple's proprietary system, is now available. Users can sign up for access on their own devices while it is still in the beta phase and is mostly available to developers and beta testers. Soon, Windows 11 might have access to iPhone alerts and allow users to send and receive text messages and phone calls from their PC. For customers who are interested, the Windows Insider Program offers iPhone integration on Windows 11 PCs, with a future update on their eligibility to test the newest feature.

Nevertheless, it was said that there was now a catch to this, as using Windows 11's Phone Link, users could not backread the discussion from several contacts. Green continues to be a neutral color on Windows 11, making it difficult to discern between green and blue bubbles received via iMessage. One of the most recognizable features of Windows 11 is how well it integrated smartphone experiences with those on the Computer, giving Microsoft an advantage over Apple.

It has all of the useful features found on Mac, but it also enhances what Apple and macOS provide their users. A feature not present on Apple's macOS, which primarily focuses on iMessage and FaceTime only, is the ability for separate notifications to appear on the smartphone from other installed programs.
