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!

    PHONELINK WORKS FINE NOW!

    When I installed PhoneLink on my iPhone it was also installed on my iPad. When the iPad and iPhone were BOTH paired with my PC no messages were received by PhoneLink on the PC.

    I deleted the PhoneLink app from my iPad but left the iPad paired with the PC.

    Now - I receive all the messages sent to either the iPad or iPhone on the PC as well as both iOS devices.

    I can send PhoneLin messages from my Win 11 PC to anyone I want and they are received.

    When the recipient (I've tried four other devices/phone numbers) of my PC message sends a reply or new message back to me - I see no notification and no message in the message list

    IF the recipient of my PC message Returns call from within my sent message - I do see a notification in Phone Link that they are calling

    I've carefully followed every step suggested in this thread but PhoneLink does not receive messages on my Win 11 PC

    Folks I discovered I am receiving messages within the PC Phone Link app, but not messages to myself. My son sent me text messages and it worked fine showing up in the PC Phone Link app and in the phone message. He is using an I-phone, so not sure if there is a limitation with other devices and will test that with my daughter who has a Pixel (Android).

    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.

    Having the exact same issue. I have tried every troubleshooting step in this thread and I still cannot receive messages. Sending works fine, but receiving doesn't work.
