Microsoft’s upcoming Phone Link app will let Apple users access iMessage on Windows, as well as notifications.
For example, users won’t be able to send photos in messages or participate in group chats. People won’t see the entire message history in conversations, as the app will only display messages sent or received through Phone Link.
Finally, as the connection can’t distinguish between a text message received via iMessage and a regular text message, neither blue nor green bubbles are used in Phone Link. The company already supports these experiences for Android phones, making it the first time that iPhone users can connect their devices to a PC in this manner.
