Why can't I see apps on the phone link app?

Anonymous

My phone link app only displays messages call and photos. I can't see where I give permissions to have the apps be visible on the phone link app on my laptop.

Hi,

I'm Rodrigo and I'll help you.

The apps option is not available for all phone devices, check if you have one of the compatible devices:

Hello Zachary Farrar, My name is Hiroki Terada. I will assist you.

I would like to know the details of the application you are using and the model of your phone. Also, there are three apps: one dedicated to your computer, one dedicated to your phone, and one that can be used with both. So the app in question may be an app that cannot be used on a computer.

If you are using Windows and an iPhone,

If your Windows is Windows 11 with Bluetooth connectivity, download "Phone Link"; if your iPhone is iOS 14 or later, download "Link to Windows If you are using an iPhone with iOS 14 or later, download "Link to Windows".

Once paired correctly, the iPhone can be used to make calls and send SMS via the Windows smartphone integration app.
　This is the only functionality available at this time, but it is surprisingly convenient when used properly. For example, when you want to make a reservation at a store or use a support center from your PC, you can call directly to the person and communicate with them on speaker. This is useful when there is no one around.

Hopefully, it will be useful for you.

Best,

Hiroki Terada
