There is an app and PC program called Intel Unison which allows your Windows PC to connect to your iPhone (via bluetooth) to make phone calls, transfer files, view gallery, and send/view text messages.

You can find the Windows program in the Windows Store.

Best part is its free!

I was stoked to hear about this but apparently it’s win 11 only. I’m on win 10 so really unfortunate. You also need an intel evo laptop but apparently it works on other OEMs and on AMD and arm processors. By the reviews it seems working really well.

You can use any brand. I’m using it on an MSI laptop.

Yeah it was meant to be exclusive to the intel evo lineup. I’m glad they didn’t although some people think they might make it exclusive in the future. We just have to hope.

Their site for sure makes it seem exclusive, they didn't even link to the Microsoft Store.

It works mostly. But iMessage integration is extremely limited. I don’t see message history in Unison. And sending messages is limited to basic texts, it won’t accept say URLs

Is there a trick to installing this on a Lenovo X1 with a i7-10610UCPU?

There shouldn’t be, do you have Windows 11?

I wish they would lose the Win11 requirement. But since Dell killed Mobile Connect, I've been using iNotifi. https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/inotifi/9N9DTZ97WN9V?hl=en-us&gl=us

It's super basic and just gives me notifications, but that's all I need (and it works on Win10).
