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!

    I have this same issue. I set it up (twice) on May 10th.

    • I can send messages via Phone Link and they show up on my iPhone.
    • When the recipient replies, I can see it on my iPhone but it never appears in Phone Link

    Wish I could say I only set mine up twice. Lol. I probably did so closer to 20 times. To no avail. Hopefully this issue is fixed in the next update. Whenever that’ll be.

    I have found the solution in my case.

    I set the message app notification to "show preview when unlocked". I waited a while and now the app is staring to receive the messages.

    This solved the problem for me. Oddly, Show Preview always does not work. It has to be when unlocked, even though the messages show up even when the phone is locked.
