Beat option out there but still lacking some features

Overall this is definitely the best option for linking your iPhone with your PC to send messages, but there are definitely some caveats that you’ll have to deal with until further support or app development. Group chats don’t work because messages from each group member show up as individual chats. Any messages that you send from your phone don’t show up in the app, and you can only see the other party’s responses, so you either go all in and chat with the app or just use your phone. It’s been convenient for me to use at work to respond here and there throughout my day when I don’t have time to pull out my phone and text. Overall 3.8/5 but I rounded up to give it a 4 since it’s the best I’ve seen so far in terms of usability and security.

It works well enough

Phone Link appears to leverage the iPhone’s notification and hand-free functions to allow a user to send and receive messages on a Windows computer. It’s clever and it works for most of my 1-1 use cases. It doesn’t work with group messages (but you’ll be notified that you got a group message) and sending/receiving photos. It also cannot sync messages that you directly send with the phone. Example: You get a message from Bob and see it on the Phone Link app on the PC then decide to use your phone to reply instead of using the PC. You will not see your reply on the Phone Link app. You would have seen it if you used Phone Link app to make the reply. I get the limitations that Microsoft is working with when trying to interface with an iPhone, so I don’t see any of this as being problematic. I usually do not run into any issues because most of my messages are 1-1 anyway.

Very Nice but a Few Suggestions

It paired with my pc perfectly and intuitively. I really love its design. It even works if your pc is running Windows 11 without all of the minimum requirements to run the OS. I have a few suggestions though;
1. Please allow the music to play from the computer and more controls.
2. Group Chat text support. I am pretty sure a lot of you guys are like me and have a group chat that has your friends or family in it. I would feel that this app would have some of its true potential unlocked if you can text your group chats from your computer.
3. Having support for every SMS, MMS, and RCS feature, such as photos, stickers, audio messages, music sending, all the good stuff. The app will be a lot better if the features are implemented.
4. Allowing more phone control, like a mirror phone screen to Windows option, or to play games on pc from a game on your phone. I am someone who loves playing games and I love using what I have to it’s full potential, I use a keyboard and mouse on an Xbox or using controllers on Vr, so we could add more support for controlling the phone from the pc.
I love the app even though I have recently downloaded it, I just think with the suggestions I said put in place in this app and the pc Phone Link app, then I think the app would have its full potential unlocked and a lot more people would use it.
