Phones and Windows 11 – June 2023 Update

Microsoft recently released their update to Phone Link to fully support iPhones on Windows 11. This means that for the best experience of using your iPhone you should switch to using Phone Link on Windows 11. Phone Link supports messaging, has more advanced notification support and sync call history.

For everything else (not everyone uses Android or iPhone), then Thy Phone still supports hands-free calling and audio sharing on any other Bluetooth Handsfree capable device. This includes Nokia feature phones, Windows Phone, Blackberry and much more. To focus on this specific scenario our latest update for Windows 11 has a simplified UI to provide this core functionality. I’m still trying to work out how to access the elusive battery level which handsfree devices expose (you can see this in the Settings app).

For users on Windows 10, the original app is still available and also supports iPhone notifications and battery level. Some of the code used to support these Apple features will be made available as a companion library to the Bluetooth LE library in 32feet.NET.
