Windows 10: Phone Link calls through my iPhone

I can't seem to find the option in Phone Link to make calls go ONLY through my iPhone, and not through the PC. At the moment, I CAN swap between PC and phone mid-call, but what I want is for all calls to be through my phone ONLY. So ... I want to just click the number on my PC and have the call go through my phone. What happens now is that I click the number ... call goes through my PC and I will have to swap it to my phone and it sometimes swaps back!Thanks!

Phone Link won't send/receive MMS texts (iPhone)

I'm using Windows 11 Pro (version 21H2) with Phone Link installed (version 1.23102.126.0).
I've synced Phone Link to my iPhone 12 Pro Max (iOS 17.2.1).

I can send and receive SMS text Messages, but not MMS texts (including group messaging and images).

How can I send/receive MMS messages with Phone Link?

Steps taken:

• Update both devices' OS and relevant apps to their latest versions.
  
• Pair and sync iPhone to Phone Link and successfully send calls and SMS messages.
  
• Reset Phone Link app (delete and reinstall, not allowed)
  
• Trouble shoot the steps on the relevant Microsoft Support page (Troubleshooting for messages in the Phone Link - Microsoft Support). (I'm not using third party messaging apps on my phone because Apple won't allow them. And I've made sure I'm running the latest versions.)
  

Still, Phone Link says "Content type not supported" when I copy and paste an image (.PNG, .JPG) in the "Send a message" field.

 

Phone Link with iPhone, currently no Bluetooth

Hi all,

I was very much looking forward using Phone Link now that I got myself to update to Win 11.

Unfortunately, my PC doesn't support Bluetooth. Hence following questions:

Is there...

1. an update coming where iPhone are able to pair via Wifi?
   
2. a possibility to connect the iPhone via USB / Tethering?
   
3. a way to solely receive and write messages via Windows on my iPhone, with no Bluetooth connection required?
   

If all of this is a no, what would be the easiest way to retrofit Bluetooth? Would any 3rd party USB Bluetooth adapter be sufficient? If so, could you suggest/recommend one?

Thank you very much

-Sebastian

 

I can pair my iPhone to Phone Link App on Laptop and receive messages and see call history but I can't answer calls.

I can make calls but then the computer redirects the call to my iPhone, I can't speak or listen through my laptop. In Phone Link App under devices the iPhone is listed but the Selected button is grey out. I have tried resetting and repairing the app many times. I've tried forgetting the Bluetooth devices on the iPhone and on the laptop. It will allow the call to be dialed and ended but it won't allow a connection. When Phone Link dials after a few seconds of try to connect it then switches to the iPhones internal speaker and if you try force the iPhone to connect to the Laptop the line just goes dead.

It used to work but then I tried to re-install Phone Link because the call quality was bad and I thought it could maybe be clashing with the WhatsApp App I installed on my Microsoft Surface 5 Laptop. NOW PHONE LINK is stuffed.
