Check your SMS text messages on your computer!

You can use your computer to chat with your friends through Messages for web, which shows what’s on your Android Messages mobile app. Android Messages for web sends SMS messages using a connection from your computer to your phone, so carrier fees will apply, just like on the mobile app.

Note: The QR code for Messages for web is unique to your computer and pairs the mobile app to that computer. You can pair your Messages account on multiple devices, but only one will be active at a time. When you open Messages for web on a computer, your conversations on any other computers or browser tabs will become inactive.

I installed the app on my Chromebook and linked it with my phone and now I can't receive text messages.

Works as expected. Had no incidents. Occasional lag that is all but very occasional.
