It must fully sync texts, meaning it will show all existing SMS conversations from your phone (sorry, Pushbullet *see edit below).īefore I begin, there are a few things these apps simply are not allowed to accomplish due to limitations in either Jellybean or Lollipop.It must have received an update sometime within the past year.It cannot require too many permissions. The app will of course need to read/write SMS, but it should not require location unless there’s an additional feature that makes sense.It’s okay if the app has an optional installation for PC/Mac. I flip between computers so I’m looking for a web-based interface only.

I do not want to install anything on my computer.It must be free (optional in-app purchases are okay).Let me outline some requirements I had before installing anything on phone: So over the past month, I have tested a variety of the desktop texting apps to find which one works the best option until Google decides to save me. Sadly, I think I’ll be stuck using the limiting SMS/MMS texting for a while. I wish I could get all my family and friends moved over to a chat app like Hangouts or the internationally famous Whatsapp. Thus, we are left with relying on third parties to send texts. I have to trust a third party if I want to send texts from my computer. And to no surprise, Google has dragged their feet in implementing a similar feature in Android. While this is a great feature, it does require that you have a Mac and an iPhone which doesn’t suit everyone. In October of 2014, Apple announced they would natively support texting on OS X. It was a feature I touted to my Apple fans as one of the many reasons I preferred the flexibility of Android. It has been a great luxury to send/receive texts on any computer without worrying about pulling out your phone during a meeting or while working on a project.
For at least 4 years, you have been able to send SMS texts from any computer’s web browser on Android.
