Microsoft added a side panel to the Start menu in the Windows 11 2024 update last year that allowed Android users to get quick access to a phone’s battery status, notifications, messages, calls, and photos. Now, Microsoft is getting ready to bring a similar experience to iPhone owners with Windows 11 laptops or PCs.

Phone users can connect devices to Windows PCs through new Phone Link features that are available directly in the Windows 11 Start menu. You can easily share files and check messages, battery level, and your device's connectivity status from a Windows 11 PC.

Windows 11's Start menu is getting a big update with full-fledged Android and iPhone integration, allowing users improved access to users' mobile texts and images from their computers.

Microsoft is testing a better integration between iPhone and Windows 11 PCs. Here is what the iPhone Mirroring-ish feature will look like.

With this new capability, iPhones users can enjoy the same benefits as their Android counterparts, making it easier than ever to stay connected while working on their Windows PCs.

Microsoft has started testing various improvements to the Phone Link integration in the Windows 11 Start Menu, including an easy way to share files across devices.

Microsoft is adding a helpful feature Android users have been using for a while, but this time to iPhone users through the latest Phone Link update.
