Hi.
Is there a way to get sms massages and phone calls like on macOS on windows pc?
I’m using an iPhone
 
There used to be a way to do it with android -- you just needed a mac mini or the like.
https://wemessageapp.com (never used it so dont flame me) lol

Or if you have Verizon you could disable iMessage on your phone and use their webapp on the windows machine.
 
Not with an iPhone. If you have an android phone you can do it with a built in Windows 10/11 app.
 
SMS can be handled via Bluetooth, so that can be done OS independent. You just need an App. However, I don’t use SMS, so little experience.

Same with calls. Via BT you can dial, hangup and present a headset.

This. Hence why i mentioned the Verizon messages app. But yeah you can no longer have i message.

Honestly, on my windows machines I just remote into my Mac mini and use imessage there.
 
Thanks guys.
I’ll check this bt thing with sms.
Honestly it’s just for the small things like getting log in codes for my bank site and stuff like that.

There is a reason why the device should be separate.

If the windows (or OSX or Linux) device can pull 2fa data, it can also do so while being infected.
