Select ‘Devices' on the left-hand side of the pane to confirm your Android device has been detected. Upon launch, the Pushbullet main window will appear. Android will now ask you to confirm access rights for the Pushbullet app. This allows you to send text messages directly from the Pushbullet desktop app.
You'll next see a screen named ‘Text from your computer or tablet’. This is handy when using the desktop app as you’ll see exactly who is calling or texting. Pushbullet will now request permission for access to your contacts. Choose ‘Allow’ to grant Pushbullet this permission. Android will ask you to confirm your settings. Activate notification access for Pushbullet by selecting the rocker switch next to the app name. Your Android notification settings will now load. This is a useful way to see Android messages on your PC as they come in. Next, Pushbullet will ask if you want to see your phone’s notifications on your computer. Enter your credentials and click ‘OK’ to sign in. This can be a different account to the one linked to your Android phone but it must be the same as the one you use with the Pushbullet desktop application (see below). Note: Google is also adding reactions over SMS from your phone back to an iPhone.Īll of these new features will begin rolling out over the coming weeks.Upon first launch the app will ask you to sign in with your Google account. This should happen based on the context of your conversation, so be weirded out by that if it suits you. Another suggestion could be to setup a Meet call or Calendar event. Google is also adding the ability to set reminders for important moments like birthdays and anniversaries, a way to watch YouTube videos directly in the app, and free RCS messaging on United flights.Īnd finally, Google Messages will start suggesting that you “star” a message if it looks important enough to keep track of. That should look like this, in case you forgot. Remember that sweet voice message transcription feature that Google announced alongside the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro? They are expanding that to the Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Galaxy S22 line, and the Galaxy Fold 4. While we wait for Apple to decide to stop being a meanie face over iMessage, Google announced a list of new features coming soon that you’ll likely take advantage of.įirst up, Google is giving you the ability to reply to individual messages by swiping over them. Google Messages is doing its best to become an ultra-advanced messaging platform on Android, thanks to RCS and Google’s heavy investment in it.
