You can now use your PC to send and receive SMS messages

Google Messages for web lets you read and send messages from an Android phone on a computer. Keep the phone and computer connected to the internet. SMS sent from the browser still goes through your phone and may incur carrier charges.

Pair Google Messages with your computer

1. On your Android phone, open Google Messages. Tap your account icon, then Device pairing.
2. On your computer, open Google Messages for web and sign in with the same Google Account you selected on your phone.
3. Match the emoji shown on the computer with the one on your phone to finish pairing.

If you use a shared computer, unpair when you finish. In the web app, open the menu and select Unpair. You can also remove the computer from Device pairing on your phone. See Google’s pairing and unpairing instructions.
