The folks over at XDA Developers uncovered screenshots of the process to link your phone to a text on desktop computers through Android Messages.
While the feature hasn’t been confirmed by Google, this lets us know that a desktop texting app is imminent.
There are plenty of third-party text-on-desktop apps already, but a Google-backed service is a long-requested feature.
There are scores of apps out there that allow you to text from your web browser or desktop app. Just check out our list here for ten of them (I use Pulse myself, and love it). But why should we have to use a third-party app? Shouldn’t Google offer this natively?
It’s been years in the making, but it looks like we are finally going to see Google offer desktop texting through Android Messages. No need for a third-party app anymore; all you’ll need is to link your phone to a computer, connect to your Google account, and you’re done.
Thank you for reading.
