Windows Phone Link Now Supports iPhone File Sharing

iPhone File Sharing Arrives on Windows PCs

Windows Insiders can now share files between iPhones and Windows 10 or 11 PCs using the updated Phone Link app. This feature, currently in testing, lets users transfer files seamlessly between devices.

How It Works

• iPhone to PC: Navigate to the file, tap the share icon, and select "Link to Windows." Choose the target PC.
• PC to iPhone: Right-click on the file(s) and select "My phone."

This builds upon existing Phone Link functionality for iOS, which already enables calls, messaging, contact access, and notification syncing. While a release date for all users is unconfirmed, this update bridges the gap between iOS and Windows ecosystems, similar to integrations seen in Windows Phone Link: Easy iPhone File Sharing.

This enhanced connectivity could influence future smartphone trends, perhaps even impacting designs like the rumored Galaxy Z Flip 7.
