- Sw33tDisasteRCopper ContributorI'm fully interessed to participate in testing iOS when spots will be oppening!
- WxdudeIron ContributorRunning them all. Very good.
- dxscottCopper ContributorWhen I try the iOS address it tells me the beta is full.
- hipcoolchicCopper ContributorSame for me.

Eric_E I received the test flight user email and a link to try out the new mobile phone link (don’t see a redeem code?), but I believe I still need the updated version of Phone Link for any of it to work (and I don’t have a true step by step, just 10 different bookmarks with advice on how to use). Any advice for getting the correct version of PhoneLink and implementing the test? I did install edge as main browser on PC and phone, and TestFlight on my phone, and signed up for the free version of Azure (but haven’t subjected myself to the Azure tutorials just yet LOL…). Help? 🫣

hipcoolchic for any issues with Phone Link, this forum may not be the best place to get help. Instead, you should create a Windows thread on Answers or contact Windows support from the Get Help app to get assistance with this app. They will be able to troubleshoot your problem and provide you with the best solution.

Thanks Eric_E, in the meantime, how could I get a redeem code for the TestFlight Mobile App? I downloaded that from the scan above and I have the iOS preview link in my e-mail otherwise. Do I just need to click it for it to activate TestFlight on my mobile phone, from my mobile phone?
- DaleRossIron ContributorCan you please explain what this means for Canary and Dev versions on Android?
- Reza_AmeriSilver ContributorThank you for sharing
- Dennis5mileSilver ContributorOk, downloaded and installed. I normally use Canary so which gets the newest test features? Beta or Canary?

The Canary version may experience crashes. We recommend using the Beta version for a more stable experience with new features.- DaleRossIron Contributor
I have been using all versions on Android from Canary to Production. When I scanned the barcode the other day, it simply took me to the beta version in the Google Play store. I have not received any emails. Is this test flight something different? Should I stop using Canary and start using beta?

How do I get a redeem code for this? Eric_E
- qainsightsCopper Contributor
hipcoolchic You have to just scan the above image 🙂
- hipcoolchicCopper ContributorI don’t have a redeem code, I’ve signed up for insiders, but I also need correct phone link app version for PC. Some steps to setting all this up and using it would help?
- TarasBuriaCopper ContributorDoes this mean no more Canary/Dev on Android and iOS?

The Dev and Canary versions are available on Android. Joining our test won’t affect their accounts on the Dev, Canary, or Stable versions. For iOS users, we offer the Beta version for testing purposes.- hipcoolchicCopper Contributor
Hi Eric_E, I have the Beta version already and Edge set as default browser on mobile and PC, but I can't uninstall or update the PC software for PhoneLink to allow the test version of PhoneLink to work? The preview will require Phone Link app version 1.23012.169.0 for my PC - I can't get the version updated because only the older version is available in the Microsoft store online. Also the TestFlight app on my phone requires a redeem code to work, but I can't figure out how I would obtain that either? I have the inviitation link to preview, however, and my PC is set to Beta, PC OS is upgraded to 11, and OS on iphone is correct as well.
