Windows 11 supports iMessage, but not photos, videos and group chats
You need two apps to use iMessage on Windows. The “Mobile connected” application preinstalled on your Windows PC and the “Link with Windows” application on your iPhone. This is already available on the App Store. Then, check that Bluetooth is activated on your PC and your iPhone. Launch the Connected Mobile application on PC which will give you a QR code. Scan this QR code with your iPhone’s camera to establish the connection between the two devices.
Windows 11 which will soon allow you to hide the date and time from the taskbar will allow you to use iMessage. There are however some limitations. In effect, support is pretty basic and you don’t have access to other iOS apps like for Android.
