Although Apple’s iMessage is not as widely available as other messaging apps, it remains extremely popular as a default app and could be considered one of the best Mac apps. Since it is exclusive to Apple devices, getting iMessage to work on Windows can be challenging. However, there are some tricks that you can use to make it work. Here’s how:
Using iMessage on Windows with Phone Link
You can link your iPhone to Windows through the Phone Link app, providing you with quick and easy access to iMessage on your PC. It’s important to note that messages sent from your iPhone before setting up Phone Link will not sync to your PC, and first-time sender messages will also not be synced.
Step 1: Make sure you have iOS 14 or later and the latest version of Windows 11. If needed, update your iPhone and Windows to the latest versions.
Step 2: Search for the “Phone Link” app in the Windows search bar and launch the application. If you can’t find it, you can manually download the app here.
Step 3: Select “iPhone” when prompted by the app.
