Phone link and iphone only works with windows 11 does anyone know a work around for windows 10 users so I can use my iphone on windows 10. I do not want to switch to windows 11.

Found this in How can I disable "We need permission to enable Phone Link features?" - Microsoft Community

it is the link in the last post.

You type in a phone number and it searches your contacts for it.

So then I try to run the messaging app, and have to go up 2 flights of stairs to get the phone to give it permission for the 1000th time from the same PC to display my mobile screen.

I must be missing how to do it.

Is there way to start screen mirroring without approving in smartphone? i would like gen screen of my smartphone on pc without finding and unlocking smartphone

For a while up until early to mid-last year, the calling function was working great. I could make and receive calls with confidence that the caller/receiver would hear me. Lately, however, it has gone full mute no matter what I do. No sound to the headset and no mic audio to the call. All other functions work fine.

Fully uninstalling "Link to Windows" from my phone, removing the Bluetooth pair on the PC and phone, and forgetting the device on the PC (can't uninstall) will very temporarily solve the issue. But it will last maybe a day or hours until something changes like restarting, hibernating, maybe even just the screen off, I don't know what prompts it to stop.

The phone says it's connected to and using the computer for the call (not the phone/speaker, it shows my computer name as the audio output) but I can still hear the audio coming from the phone headset speaker and when I talk no one can hear me even through the phone. I have to switch the source to the phone or speakerphone for people to hear me through the phone.

All other audio output and input devices are disabled.

I have a Pixel 4.

Anything?
Otherwise, what other options are there for doing the same thing (making calls on my phone with my number through my computer on a headset)??

Thanks!

Is it possible to answer calls inside VR enviroment with a hotkey?

Is there any hotkeys at all? Ive been googling and cant seem to find anything relevant, would be nice with a hotkey to answer a call without interacting with the phone or the popup window on pc and then just map that to a hotas key.

Having a frustrating time with this program ever since I switched to an iPhone. Phonelink successfully connects to my iphone and of course I have the "Link to Windows" app on the iPhone with full permissions. Windows will show me list of calls, the computer will even ring and indicate a call is happening and show "suggested contacts" under messages but DOESNT SYNC the history of messages so I can't see my conversation and comfortably reply to them / chat with people.

It even lets me SEND a message to someone, but won't show their reply or all past replies...

I need help getting my phone screen to show on my PC. I started using it recently because I cracked the screen on my last phone and couldn't see anything to get my new phone set up. Had to guess with my pokes.

Anyway. Everything is working fine EXCEPT showing my phone screen which clearly is the driving force behind using Phone Link.

✅ Connected to the same wifi network

✅ Checked battery optimization in phone settings

✅ Checked Microsoft accounts working fine on PC (shared experiences)

These were all the suggestions I could find on Microsoft Support site. I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra which is also on the list of supported devices.

I've been using this for quite a while, and though not the best tool, it worked without too much of a hiccup. They, with the Big 'T', changed something to be more helpful and it helped me right off the platform. I've been trying to reconnect it, but it goes through the entire processes, the phone says, "good to go...", but the PC says Unable to Connect. I've been fighting this for a few days now and I am not sure what is stopping me.

hello i want to connect my tablet to my pc via phone link but camera on tablet is non working so i cant scan QR code.. there is a option to ´´continue manually without QR code´´ but problem is that pin code generated from phone link on pc contains numbers and letters and on the tablet phone link app where he wants me to enter the generated pin does not allow letters only numbers.

I tried to use the feature where you can stream audio from your phone to your laptop but it just doesnt seem to be working for me. The audio of whatever media i play on my phone comes from my phone and doesnt get streamed to my laptop. What is the fix for this?

It even says in the settings that it should stream from my computer. It asked me for permission once and it opened the android settings screen but i couldnt find any permission to give it. Help please!

Last week I received a call from a number in the 416 area code, which I later found out is Toronto, Canada. I did not answer the call and a voicemail was left. When I go into my voicemail instead of it being a message from whoever called, it goes into a voicemail set up so I can have access to my voicemails from another phone. I suspect this is some kind of scam so the scammer can gain access to my voicemails and my phone. So I do not want to go through the voicemail set up. I cannot figure out how to delete this. There is no "clear" option and I have tried several things, including turning off my phone and turning it back on. The little voicemail notification symbol remains and the setup remains. Now, when I get new voicemails I cannot get access to them since they are in a queue behind this setup message. Any ideas on how to get rid of it? I have a Samsung Galaxy S8 android phone.

I have only one input device, a table mic, plugged into my PC. However, Phone Link seems not to recognize the mic during calls. When I make o receive a call via Phone Link, I can hear my interlocutor via PC speakers but he cannot hear me at all. I can confirm the mic is working properly since it records perfectly and in all other apps it works. I read online that someone solved by turning off audio enhancements for the mic but I do not have them at all in Windows settings. I already submitted a feedback to dev team.

Hi.

Can someone help me figure out why the hell my microphone is stuttering and people are struggling to hear me when I use audio via Phone Link? When my phone is connected to my PC via Bluetooth, I would except this to be working just as fine as any other bluetooth device. But no.

I can only assume others have the exact same issue? Making phone calls via Phone Link almost useless.

The latency of the screen transfer is too high, I need a stable 60Hz or even 120Hz refresh, which is perfectly doable

My windows does not want to show phone link app under Setting / system / notifications, any idea why? I tried reinstall the app but while I get notifications within the app itself but I canoot get W11 to display banners when notification arrives, don't know why.

I'm having an issue with SMS. It seems to only affect group text messages, but whenever I send one via phone-link, it seems to take forever to send, and then eventually dissapear. I'm not sure if it ever gets sent, and it doesn't appear anywhere in the app, or on my phone.

Is anyone else having this issue? Any suggestions to fix it? I've tried a couple of alternatives like KDE Connect, and Samsung Flow, but neither of those seem to be able to send SMS at all.
