I don't care about chat history or media sharing, I just want my PC to act as an extension so I can quickly type a reply when a notification pops up. Does it work like that? Correct me if I'm wrong, but in my opinion the Microsoft's app is like a bridge between my laptop and iPhone... I'm just curious. 🧵

Does the same on my iPad Pro with Face ID, both on iPadOS 26.5.2. Does not work on my iPhone 13 mini, also 26.5.2.

And yes, emulation is absolutely allowed. I'm not interested in blocking folks who don't have real HW.

Maybe we have "levels" in the challenges? I don't know...let's see what the interest level is.
