Currently limited to Windows Insiders, it leverages the Phone Link software to establish a connection between Windows and iOS devices. Notably, this development comes a day after the Redmond-based technology giant introduced a native <a class=\"sp_lnk2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gadgets360.com\/tags\/copilot\">Copilot<\/a> for Windows app, replacing the previous progressive web app (PWA) experience.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"microsoft-s-new-link-to-windows-feature\">Microsoft&#8217;s New Link to Windows Feature<\/h2>\n<p>In a blog <a class=\"sp_lnk2\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.windows.com\/windows-insider\/2024\/12\/11\/sharing-files-between-your-iphone-and-windows-pc-rolling-out-to-windows-insiders\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">post<\/a>, Microsoft detailed the features of the new Link to <a class=\"sp_lnk2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gadgets360.com\/tags\/windows\">Windows<\/a> functionality. The company says users can transfer files from their PC to their iPhone by right-clicking on it and then tapping <strong><em>Share &gt; My Phone\/Phone Link<\/em><\/strong>. Similarly, files can be sent from an iPhone to a PC by selecting the file and tapping\u00a0<strong><em>Share &gt; Link to Windows<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This feature has been introduced for users registered with the Windows Insider Program. It has the following prerequisites:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>iPhone running on <a class=\"sp_lnk2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gadgets360.com\/tags\/ios-16\">iOS 16<\/a> or later<\/li>\n<li>Link to Windows app for iOS version 1.24112.73 or higher<\/li>\n<li>Phone Link version 1.24112.89.0 or higher<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Users trying out this feature for the first time can set up the file-sharing functionality during the Phone Link setup process. Those who have already paired their iPhone with a PC can set it up by navigating to aka.ms\/addAccount on the PC. Since the feature is currently under testing, users can submit their feedback by visiting the Feedback Hub under <strong><em>Apps &gt; Phone Link<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"other-new-features\">Other New Features<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the Phone Link functionality, Microsoft also <a class=\"sp_lnk2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gadgets360.com\/apps\/news\/copilot-for-windows-native-app-microsoft-store-features-rollout-7223716\">introduced<\/a> an update for the Microsoft Copilot app that brings a native experience.
