Today, Microsoft said it is beginning to roll out support for iMessage in Windows 11 via the Phone Link app—with some major limitations.

Microsoft previously announced this feature as part of other planned Windows updates that it revealed in February, including AI built into the search bar and the addition of tabs functionality to the Notepad app. Phone Link for iPhone users was available in an early preview to Windows Insiders, but today marks the beginning of the public rollout.

Phone Link has been around for a long time, but it previously only worked with Android phones. Now it also works with iPhones, but the feature set is comparatively limited.
