    To connect a phone by Bluetooth on a Windows 11 PC:

    1. Turn on Bluetooth on the phone and make the phone discoverable.
    2. On the PC, select the Network, Sound, or Battery icon next to the time and date on the taskbar.
    3. Select the Manage Bluetooth devices chevron on the Bluetooth quick setting.
    4. Under New devices, select the phone.
    5. Follow any additional prompts, then select Done.

    If Bluetooth is off on the PC:

    1. Select Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices.
    2. Turn Bluetooth On.

    For Phone Link with iPhone:

    1. Open Phone Link from the Start menu.
    2. Under Pick your phone, select iPhone.
    3. Follow the pairing steps.
    4. Scan the QR code shown on the PC with the iPhone camera.
    5. Grant the requested permissions on the iPhone.

    If pairing fails in Phone Link:

    1. On the PC, go to Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Remove Device for the iPhone.
    2. On the iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth > select the info icon next to the PC name > Forget this device.
    3. Turn Bluetooth off on both devices, wait 10 seconds, then turn it back on.
    4. In Phone Link, select Try pairing again.

    Hi, @David Hernandez

    Have you already turned on Bluetooth on both your phone and the Windows 11 PC?

    On the PC, go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices, turn Bluetooth on, then select "Add device" > "Bluetooth."

    Keep the Bluetooth settings open on your phone so it is discoverable, then select your phone when it appears on the PC. Confirm that the pairing code shown on both devices matches.

    If your phone does not appear, do you see the Bluetooth On/Off switch under Settings > Bluetooth & devices on the PC?
