Hi,
I connected my iPhone in the Phone Link app.
I can send messages but the messages i receive do not appear in the app.
How can i solve this?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
this was the fix for me. I opened phone link, clicked on settings, and under features, i clicked the drop down for messages. I made sure the toggle for ON was checked. and then i selected "show replies from group chats as individual messages"
all of a sudden i started getting my messages.
Hope this works for anyone looking!
This worked for me to! Here's the solution:
iPhone Settings > Messages > Notifications > Show Previews under "Lock Screen Appearance" and set it to "Always"
None of the 'solutions' posted work reliably. To make matters worse, if I take my phone beyond Bluetooth range of the PC, and then come back, nothing works and I pretty much have to start over. This is not ready for prime time.
SOLVED: I was testing it with text message to myself and that does not show up in the PC Phone Link App. But messages from others, like my son, seem to work fine. It was my testing of message to myself that did not show up in the PC Phone Link App. I hope that makes sense.
Same thing with me. I set up a new version of Win 11 on laptop in my house. The laptop was on my wi-fi network. When I tried to text from the laptop to my iPhone number it worked. But when I texted from my iPhone or my iMac computer as a reply back to the laptop which (of course) was on my wi-fi did NOT get received.
But people outside of my home wi-fi got though just fine. So either my router was blocking the transmission or there is some bug in the Phone Link program what does one permit incoming messages if the receiving PC is on the same network as the sender.
As an aside, this program has a very confusing interface.
This fixed it for me! I set it to "Always" and it works now.
