Google launched one of the d users' wishes from the first generation of the Nexus. Messages on the Web. Finally, Android users can log into the browser and view and send text messages just like Mac and iPhone users.
This feature is still available on mobile phones, but it is already available on the web. How to use it is as follows.
1. Log on to messages.android.com with your web browser.
2. Open the Android Messages app on your phone.
3. Tap the menu icon at the top right.
4. Select the message for the web.
5. Tap the Scan QR Code button.
6. Read the QR code displayed on the browser to the mobile phone. To use Apple messages on your computer, you need a Mac and an iPhone. But Google's messages for the web can be used anywhere there is a browser. I use Macs, Pixel Books, Galaxy S9, and I can get the latest characters no matter what device I use. You can track messages from any browser by selecting messages for the web on your phone. 2. Stickers can be used
That's it. When connected, text messages to your phone are synchronized to the web, and you can send and receive messages on your computer just as you would on a mobile phone. But is this system good enough for iPhone users to covet? I looked at four reasons better than Apple's Mac message and why not.
Four reasons why Google's web messaging is better than Apple
1. It works everywhere
used The messages for the iPhone have all the functions to make text messages such as stickers, effects, apps, and animic icons, but the Mac client does not have any other function except characters and emoticons. Even attaching pictures or files is not easy. However, Google provides easy-to-use buttons for emoticons, stickers, attachments, etc., next to the message fields in the web message. Currently there are not many stickers available, but it's better than nothing.
3. Synchronization is fast
Apple's messaging has begun to support iCloud Sync last month, and you must use the latest version of iOS 11 and Mac OS High Sierra to use it. But even so, it's not as immediate as what Google offers. When you log in to a web message, the messages and conversations you have just sent and deleted from one source are reflected.
4. Dark mode
Apple users have been able to enjoy Dark Mode in Mac OS X, but Android messages can be used right away. Press the Menu button on the right to go to Settings, then toggle the Dark Theme Activation toggle and all interfaces will turn black.
There are four reasons Apple messages are better than Google
1. I can not make calls
Apple's Mac messages can use face time or Wi-Fi calling to quickly switch to voice or video calling. But it's impossible for Google's web messaging. The messages in the phone are integrated with the Duo and contacts, allowing quick dialing, but the web interface only supports text.
2. Can not retrieve
messages Both the Android Messages app and the Mac messages can easily find old conversations by searching, but they are not possible for messages for the web. However, it is expected that this function will be available as soon as it is possible to search in Google Photos for the Web.
3. Only one browser can be used at a time.
Google messages for the web only support a single connection between the phone and the browser. In other words, you can not log in simultaneously in two places. When you forgot to log out of your PC or when you try to open another tab in your browser, a pop-up window appears asking if you want to use the message for the web in that window. Messages are only synchronized in the selected window. It's a minor inconvenience, but you can keep two conversations side by side in a Mac message.
4. Notifications are not useful
You can receive notifications when new messages arrive in Android for Android messages, but this is just a reminder. When used as a safari on a Mac, it only shows a notification that a new message has arrived without showing the sender or content at all. Chrome OS can not do anything else without moving to the browser window
