[Complete Guide] How to Get iPhone Text Messages on Windows 10/11?

Part 1. Can You Get iPhone Text Messages on PC?

There are three main types of messages on an iPhone: iMessage, SMS, and MMS. iMessages can be sent using Wi-Fi or cellular data, while SMS and MMS require a text messaging plan from your phone carrier. So, whether you can get iPhone text messages on Windows 10/11 depends on the type of messages you're trying to transfer.

If you're looking to save SMS messages from your iPhone to your Windows 10 computer, you can easily do that by connecting your iPhone and using a message transfer tool. However, if you want to access iMessages on Windows 10, it's a bit trickier because Apple doesn't provide a simple way to sync iPhone text messages with a Windows computer. The Messages app works only on Apple devices, like iPhones, iPads, and Macs.

But don't worry. There are third-party tools that can help you get iPhone text messages on your Windows 10 PC.
