Android Messages might let you send SMS messages from the desktop soon

Android Police

Google has a whole suite of messaging apps but it hasn’t been able to come up with one solution that can let you message on all platforms in the same way iMessage does for iOS and Mac devices. But that might change soon. Android Police found in the latest update of Android Messages that desktop SMS messaging might be coming to its users in the future. It’s going to be a browser-based option that could work similarly to how iMessage will let users send out texts to Android-using friends from the iMac app. According to the report, this feature would be available on almost all major browsers like Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Opera, and Internet Explorer.

Syncing will supposedly be an easy process and you’ll get notified every time you get a new message. Support for multiple computers is also there as well as the ability to check which computers have access to your Android Messages and being able to remove those that shouldn’t be part of that list. There is no word though if and when this feature is rolling out but we are keeping our eyes out for it.
