Microsoft Phone Link lastest update adds File Transfers Between Windows PCs and iPhones
Microsoft has updated its Phone Link app to enable file transfers between Windows PCs and iPhones, a feature included in update version 1.24112.73. Currently being rolled out to Windows Insiders, the update supports Windows PCs and iPhones running the latest iOS versions.
Users can now use the Share option on their iPhone to send files to their PC and vice versa using the context menu in Windows, similar to how they would with AirDrop on macOS.
The update is being gradually released, so not all users will have immediate access to this new feature. This update addresses a previous limitation where the Phone Link app lacked file transfer capabilities for iPhones, unlike its support for Android devices.
