Even tried multiple hacky methods to get it to work. But today, Microsoft decided to add it to Windows. But there\u2019s a lot of limitations. This isn\u2019t a big surprise, since this is Microsoft and not Apple.<br \/>\nBasically, iMessage is being added to the Phone Link functionality. So you\u2019ll link your phone to your Windows PC using Bluetooth. After you have granted it some permissions on your iPhone, you\u2019ll be able to send and receive text messages and iMessages from your PC using Phone Link.<br \/>\nThere is no support for group chats or sending photos or videos. On top of that, it also lacks full message history for conversations and displays all sent and received messages as gray bubbles. Which means, no more green and blue bubbles. At least when you\u2019re on your PC.<br \/>\niPhone Support in Phone link will be available in a preview this week<br \/>\nIt\u2019s early days for this support, as Microsoft will be releasing it in a preview this week. But we don\u2019t expect that it will get a whole lot better in future updates. This is because Apple doesn\u2019t want to help make it better, as they would rather you use a Mac, instead of a PC.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re part of the \u201csmall percentage\u201d of Windows Insider members enrolled in the Dev, Beta or Release channels, you\u2019ll be able to check this out. Microsoft says that the preview will be expanded over time.<br \/>\nIs it perfect? No. Definitely not. But it is better than nothing. Maybe this could help Apple bring iMessage support to Windows, and cooperate a bit more. After all, Apple does have a number of apps available on PC. Like Apple Music, iTunes and much more. So there is hope here.<br \/>\nThe post Microsoft adds iMessage support on Windows appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Windows-11-Phone-Link-iMessage.jpeg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For years, we\u2019ve been asking for Apple to bring iMessage to Android.
