Here's How to Use iMessage on Windows 11 If You Have an iPhone

How to use iMessage in Windows 11. iMessage is Apple's exclusive service for sending text messages between Apple devices.

iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch users can take advantage of the built-in app to send blue balloon text messages to their friends and family.

First, users need to download Intel Unison, which brings a "multi-device experience to enjoy the freedom of working across operating systems."

While it was first made available for some Intel-powered laptops, now all Windows 11 computers can take advantage of it.

After downloading the app, it's important to download the iOS companion app. After following the steps in the Windows app, you can pair it with your iPhone.

So Once you do that, it will allow you to send and receive text messages from your Windows computer including iMessages.

That said, it's important to note that the app doesn't sync all of your messages, but only shows the ones you've received while it's open.
