Microsoft is rolling out iMessage on Windows 11, these are the pros and cons
Τον Φεβρουάριο, η Microsoft άρχισε να δοκιμάζει το iMessage στα Windows που έγινε δυνατή μέσω της εφαρμογής Phone Number Link. Τώρα η εταιρεία λέει ότι διαθέτει τη δυνατότητα σε όλους όσους χρησιμοποιούν Windows 11. Αν και τα νέα μπορεί να ακούγονται συναρπαστικά, υπάρχουν ορισμένα αξιοσημείωτα μειονεκτήματα στην εμπειρία iMessage της Microsoft. Εδώ είναι τι πρέπει να γνωρίζετε.
Ως υπενθύμιση, η πιο πρόσφατη έκδοση του Phone Link για Windows και iOS χρησιμοποιεί Bluetooth για να συνδέσει το iPhone και έναν υπολογιστή με Windows για τη μετάδοση κειμένου SMS και iMessages.
While you can send and receive both types of iPhone texts from Windows, there are some limitations:
- Your full message history will not be synced, you will only see messages that have been "sent or received via Phone Link".
- You cannot send photos ή βίντεο σε μηνύματα
- There is no support for group chats
- All messages are displayed in gray
Today, we're excited to announce that Microsoft Phone Link for iOS on Windows 11 is starting to be available to our global audience in 39 languages in 85 markets. We recently announced that Windows 11 has extended Phone Link to enable connection between a Windows 11 PC and an iOS mobile device with the goal of removing the barriers between your phone and PC and making it easier to connect with the people you care about more .
Despite the limitations of Phone Link's iMessage support, Microsoft says it's hearing positive feedback such as "this is exactly what I was hoping for on my Windows PC."
While the feature is rolling out widely, the company says it will take until "mid-May" to roll out to everyone globally.
You can download it Phone Link for Windows by Microsoft and for iOS in the App Store here.
A few more details, Phone Link for iOS requires iOS 14 or later and is not compatible with iPad. You'll also need Windows 11 with Bluetooth enabled for both devices.
