Sending text messages is one of the most common activities we do with our phones. However, when you’re working on your MacBook, switching back and forth between devices can be frustrating. That’s why being able to text from your computer is a game-changer.
If you’re an iPhone user, you probably already know how to send text messages from your computer using Messages. But what about Android users? Can you also send text messages to them from your MacBook? The answer is yes, and it’s pretty simple.
First, you need to make sure that your MacBook is set up to send and receive text messages. Launch Messages and go to Preferences. Then click on iMessage and make sure your phone number is selected, and you’re signed in with your Apple ID.
Next, go to your iPhone’s settings and select Messages. Scroll down to Text Forwarding and make sure your MacBook is selected and turned on.
Now you’re ready to send a text message to an Android user. Just open Messages on your MacBook and type in the phone number or contact name. Type your message and hit enter. The message will be sent from your iPhone to the Android user’s phone. Any replies from the Android user will also go to your iPhone, and you’ll be able to see them in Messages on your MacBook.
It’s that easy! You don’t need any special apps or additional software. Just make sure your iPhone is nearby and not in airplane mode or turned off.
