Hi tracecore915,

If you’re using an Android phone, you can use the built-in “Phone Link” feature (formerly called “Your Phone”) with Windows 10 or 11. Here’s how:

  1. On your PC, open the “Phone Link” app (search for “Phone Link” in your start menu).
  2. On your Android device, go to Settings > Connected Devices > Link to Windows and sign in with your Microsoft account.
  3. Follow on-screen instructions to pair your devices.

This setup lets you read and reply to SMS, see call history, receive notifications, and even make/receive calls directly from your PC (as long as your phone is nearby and connected).

If you’re using an iPhone, Windows supports iMessage notifications and calls in a limited capacity through the Phone Link app, but with fewer features than Android.

No extra apps are needed—just built-in tools and your Microsoft account. Let me know if you need step-by-step details!

Hi tracecore915! If you’re looking for a straightforward way to access messages and call logs from your PC, I recommend trying the Phonsee app (https://phonsee.com/). Phonsee is a third-party phone monitoring solution that lets you remotely view texts, call history, and even social media messages from your computer.

Once set up, you simply log in via a web dashboard on your PC to monitor the target device in real time. Phonsee’s key features include SMS and call log tracking, GPS location, contact lists, media files, and even some app activity. The setup process is user-friendly, and you don’t need to be a tech expert to get started. Just make sure you have proper consent if monitoring someone else’s device.

This could be a solid solution if you need reliable, remote access to phone data. Let me know if you have any questions about the setup!
