Microsoft added a side panel to the Start menu in the Windows 11 2024 update last year that allowed Android users to get quick access to a phone’s battery status, notifications, messages, calls, and photos. Now, Microsoft is getting ready to bring a similar experience to iPhone owners with Windows 11 laptops or PCs.

Microsoft is testing a better integration between iPhone and Windows 11 PCs. Here is what the iPhone Mirroring-ish feature will look like.

Microsoft is adding iPhones to its new Start sidebar, adding file sharing between the new platforms, too. Here's how it works.

A new Windows 11 feature allows iPhone users to see information from their phone within the Windows 11 Start menu. Windows Insiders can test the functionality now and also try the option to share files between a phone and PC through the Start menu.

Windows 11's Start menu is getting a big update with full-fledged Android and iPhone integration. This will allow you to view content from your phone directly on the Start menu. Previously, the feature was limited to Android phones, but now it works with iPhones too.

Microsoft has started testing various improvements to the Phone Link integration in the Windows 11 Start Menu, including an easy way to share files across devices.
