Now Start Texting through your PC

On May 9th, we wrote a blog on the New Google Chat that will be coming live in a few months by Google on all Android Devices across the world.

So Google has finally launched this new feature and instead of calling it Google Chat, it has been officially announced as Android Messages for Web. It has started rolling out on all Android Devices and in order to avail it, all the user has to do is just update the Messaging App.

After coming up with Allo & Duo, This is also Google’s first major step toward “Chat”, the company’s addition of Rich Communication Services (RCS) inside Android Messages.

The best part- To use this, there is no need to download another chat app. Rather it is something, that will bring Android Texting Experience closer to Apple’s iMessage.

What makes it easily accessible is that The New Android Messages for Web is based on a standard called the “Universal Profile for Rich Communication Services. It will automatically be turned on inside Android Messages, the OS’s default app for texting. Quite similar to WhatsApp for Web, the New Android Messages will allow you to access and operate your Phone’s messages through Desktop. But you won’t find end-to-end encryption here in Android Messages.

Please note that this new feature is available in version 3.3.044 of the Android Messages app.
