Microsoft Tests iPhone to Windows PC File Sharing Feature

Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Verge

Microsoft is testing a new feature in its Phone Link app that allows iPhone users to share files with Windows PCs, similar to Android file sharing. This update, available to Windows Insiders, uses the iOS share sheet to send files to the "Link to Windows" app, enabling selection of a Windows device for file transfer. Despite improvements, the iOS version remains limited due to Apple's restrictions, lacking features like app mirroring and group messaging via iMessage.
