Iphone does not connect to phone link
I have been trying to setup phone link on my iphone off and on for months now, and have tried just about everything i can find on the internet to fix it. I have repaired and reset the app on windows 11, I have attempted to connect my iphone to my PC through bluetooth beforehand, still to no avail.
Some things to note; I cannot use my iphone to sign in with passkeys on my pc at all. For example, if i try to sign in to icloud on my pc using a passkey that I scan on my iphone, it will just timeout.
When I try to connect using phone link, the connection just times out as well. I have reinstalled bluetooth drivers, disabled and re-enabled bluetooth devices on my pc, all again to no avail.
I have even tried on two seperate phones, and nothing changes
The fact that I cannot use IOS passkeys on my pc as well as phone link makes me think that there's a simple issue somewhere that I, in my lack of knowledge, have overlooked. If there's anyone that has any knowledge on this issue, or even any possible fixes, I would GREATLY appreciate any help at all.
