There’s no signing in to deal with, and if you opt to “remember this computer,” the app re-establishes the connection if you happen to close out of the app. Set up is just as easy as it is within your standard browser with a simple QR code to pair. Personally, I’ve tested it a bit on Windows 10 and it works great. The app is available for free on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Thankfully, a third-party developer has managed to build an unofficial desktop client for all major platforms.Ĭhris Knepper recently launched an early build of a native Android Messages client for desktop on Github, and it already works really well. Having access to your messages from the desktop is great, but locking it to a tab can be a bit annoying.
Android Messages for Web went official just last week and so far, it seems like everyone is loving it.
