You would be wrong. Phone Link has a horrible history of barely working and when it works it’s on flagship Samsung phones.I bet it works better than macOS continuity handoff and the new gimmicky iPhone remote control.
You can use Texty from App Store; it's a third-party client for Google Messages.Nice! Microsoft's 'Phone Link' for Android phones on Windows has become increasingly responsive and reliable. Great to see they are now including iPhones too. I regularly use Phone Link to read and write SMS messages on my laptop (especially useful for copying over two factor authentication codes) and getting images from my phone to share/save/use.
I'd love Apple to mutually reciprocate this and allow Android phones to connect to Macs with an app that offers similar functionality to Phone Link/iPhone Mirroring. I expect pigs to be flying before this ever happens though.
Ah, good question. I don't have that need so have never attempted this - I'm afraid I can't help you with an answer on this.
Phone Link functionality isn't as feature rich as the iPhone/Mac integration (just SMS, pictures, phone calls, notifications so no phone mirroring) but I'll take that over nothing.
Edit: I've just found out you can share files Android<->PC, and make your phone play a sound for 20s to help you find it. Both useful features, although I've been solving the share file problem using OneDrive for years already.
I still have the hard disk, so ner!
Sorry to hear that. Maybe your mother can install it for you? (I prefer it on the right)I will not install an operating system that does not allow me to have the task bar vertically on the left.
Many people really like that feature, actually.I bet it works better than macOS continuity handoff and the new gimmicky iPhone remote control.
I believe this is only for (select?) Samsung phones. Sadly it isn't an available option with my Google Pixel 8.Windows Phone Link has had phone mirroring for literally years
Ahh, I didn't realize that. I can see that it is predominantly Samsung devices that work with Phone Link - for some reason I thought that Microsoft had expanded it to a lot more devices in recent years.I believe this is only for (select?) Samsung phones. Sadly it isn't an available option with my Google Pixel 8.
Right would also be okay, but having it on the bottom does not make sense. I know that there are third party hacks that allow you to place the task bar on the left or right, but those might stop working after every Windows update.Sorry to hear that. Maybe your mother can install it for you? (I prefer it on the right)
Click on the wifi icon, you will see your phone there, and its batterywait so it’s possible to see iPhone’s battery status ON WINDOWS but it’s not possible on MacOS with it’s battery widget?
That makes zero sense. Everything since Windows 2000 has been built on Windows NT, which is a completely different kernel. What you're trying to say is that you can find graphical elements from old versions of Windows in menus...but I don't think you even know what two levels down means.Go two levels down in the Windows 11 interface and its all Windows 95 and all the horrible things therein - MS should be brave enough to write a new OS from ground up thats compatible and runs ‘properly’ on ARM - cos who else uses x86 anymore.

How did you get it to work?Windows Phone Link has had phone mirroring for literally years, including the ability to run multiple Phone apps in independent windows within Windows:

(those two above are running from my phone right now, just for this example)
Came here to say the same thing!I will not install an operating system that does not allow me to have the task bar vertically on the left.
Yeah?Works perfect on my end.
