Download & Instructions
Two things. First, it would be great to have a web app or desktop program so that when I'm sitting at home on the computer and want to send a text, I don't have to grab my phone and use its tiny keyboard. I read somewhere that it can't be done because it requires access to the phone number of the device. Huh? Several other products do that just fine - mysms, pushbullet, airdroid, etc.
ReplyDeleteThe other thing, and this is just a nit, is that the product is called "Android Messages" but when it installs on the device, it's called "Messages". Given all the other products named Messages (my S8 had at least 2 such products pre-installed by VZW), it gets confusing to know which is which, with only their icon to distinguish them.
