As an iPhone owner, I rely on Apple Messages for texting. But writing and reading texts on my phone's small screen can be a hassle, so I often turn to my Mac's larger monitor and its built-in iMessages app.
On a Windows PC, however, I use Microsoft's Phone Link app.
For this to work, you'll need a Microsoft account, the Phone Link app on your Windows PC, and Microsoft's Link to Windows app on your iPhone.
