TEchCrunch : Phone Link for iOS is now available to all Windows 11 users, bringi

Phone Link for iOS is now available to all Windows 11 users, bringing iMessage and more to PCs

Microsoft announced today that Phone Link for iOS is now available to all Windows 11 customers, allowing iPhone users to make and receive phone calls, send and receive messages via iMessage, access their contacts and see their phone’s notifications directly on their Windows PC. Phone Link previously only worked with Android phones.

The company started rolling out Phone Link for iOS on Windows 11 last month in 39 languages across 85 markets, and noted that it would take a few weeks for it to reach all customers.

Phone Link offers basic support for calls, messages and contacts, but it has some limitations, as it doesn’t support the option to reply to group messages or send images and videos. Microsoft notes that messages are session based and will only come through when your phone is connected to your PC. Notifications are delivered to the PC through Windows notifications, which means users can check, pin and dismiss them from the Windows interface.

To get started with Phone Link, users are guided through a setup process that will pair their iPhone to their PC over Bluetooth. Phone Link for iOS requires an iPhone with iOS 14 or higher, a Windows 11 device, a Bluetooth connection and the latest version of the Phone Link app. Support is not available for iPad (iPadOS) or MacOS at this time.

>>> What to look at today - 16th of May 2023

Most Asian equities rose before scheduled US debt talks to avert a default and as traders digested the latest data from China. The yuan weakened. An Asia-Pacific equity gauge climbed 0.6% after trimming an advance on weak Chinese economic figures. Mainland China stocks were mixed, with the Shanghai Composite Index flipping to a gain while the CSI 300 Index pared losses.  Some investors may have priced in the weakness in China’s April data, following a slew of disappointing indicators. “The impact of today’s data on the market will be limited,” said Wu Xuan, chief market analyst at Tebon Fund Management. Further bullish bets by Michael Burry on e-commerce giants JD.com Inc. and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. lent support to Chinese equities, with the Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index rallying over 4% on Monday.  Meanwhile, Japan’s Topix index headed for its highest close since 1990 amid robust foreign buying. Solid fundamentals and expectations for structural changes “justify a bullish stance” on Japan’s equities, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said.  South Korean equities also rallied, supported by chip stocks on the potential merger between Kioxia Holdings Corp. and Western Digital Corp. Australian stocks declined. US equity futures remained on the back foot before a meeting between President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy Tuesday. The US stock market gained Monday amid mixed signals sent by both factions in the debt-ceiling talks. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen reiterated her department may run out of cash as soon as June 1 unless Congress raises or suspends the federal debt limit. The dollar steadied and Treasuries edged higher, while the Aussie weakened after the China data. Reserve Bank of Australia minutes showed officials weighed the risk of upside surprises to inflation amid a tight labor market in their surprise decision to hike rates this month. In the US, data showed New York manufacturing slid the most since April 2020. This week’s figures will likely underscore more economic weakness, emboldening the Federal Reserve’s dovish voices even though inflation has failed to reassure, according to Anna Wong at Bloomberg Economics. JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s Marko Kolanovic joined a chorus of Wall Street strategists Monday in warning that the US debt-ceiling impasse is yet another headwind threatening the outlook for equity markets. Morgan Stanley’s Mike Wilson delivered a similar warning on the debt-ceiling deadline, noting the bank’s clients said the issue is unlikely to be resolved without some near-term volatility.  Elsewhere, oil climbed and gold was little changed. US After Hours NU +6.1% up on earnings; COF +5.6% up after Warren Buffett discloses stake; RUM -3.4% lower on earnings; RH -3.6% slips after Warren Buffett discloses he closed his position.
