The permissions you’ll want to be sure to “Allow” for the texting feature to work are “Contacts” and “SMS Messages.”
During the initial setup, it’s also important that you allow the Android app to run in the background. This will ensure that the device stays connected to your PC. Tap “Continue” when it asks to “stay connected.”
FInally, tap “Allow” to let the app always run in the background.
With all that permission-granting out of the way, the feature is now ready to use. Open the Your Phone app on your Windows PC and click the “Messages” tab in the side panel.
Messages from your Android device will automatically appear here. Simply select a conversation to open it.
The conversation will open and you can type in the text box and select emoji to add. Click the paper plane icon to send the message.
To start a new conversation, click the “New Message” button at the top of the conversation list.
A new text box will appear, and you can search for a contact to message. Since we gave the app permission to view contacts, it will pull them from your Android device.
That’s all there is to it! You can now send and receive text messages on your Windows PC.
