Has anyone been able to get KDE connect to work with an iphone-I have win11 and an iphone7. I am trying KDE connect mainly because it was presented as an alternative to phone link, which requires ios 16 or better, which rules out iphone7. I want to use this to send/receive SMS messages in conjunction with my iphone7. I was able to install the app and both iphone7 and windows 11 laptop, and able to pair the 2, and seem to have some functionality as far as pinging the cell phone etc, but the SMS section is blank and I dont know how to use it. If I right click on the iphone in the system tray of my laptop there is also an SMS option in there, but the window that the opens only contains a search bar that says search or start a conversation. I was expecting to see my SMS messages that are on my iphone show up on the laptop, but I don’t. It’s likely I am missing an important step or steps here, any suggestions much appreciated. Thanks
Hi! KDE Connect does not support SMS syncing on iOS, and due to the limitations imposed by Apple, it isn’t likely to be able to be implemented in the same way as is possible on Android.
For reference on the features available in the iOS version, you can go to Settings > Features in the app:
OK, thanks for letting me know, I thought I read somewhere it did, but I will close this matter as resolved. Thanks again
