Samsung Texting Question (computer, application, Android, laptop)

[SubconsciousMe]

We have the Samsung Note 10+ and love it. No major qualms with the phone. We switched to Samsung about a year ago from Apple and have no intentions of going back to Apple.

With that said, we are hoping to get new laptops soon. Is there a laptop that syncs messages from the Note10 -- similar to the iMessage feature in Apple? All we know is the Telegram app and that may be a solution but it only works with those who use Telegram.

Any options out there that don't require a 3rd party app that would sync messages and would allow a response regardless of device or am I dreaming?

Google Hangout?

It's not the laptop that you need, it's a better texting app.

Googles Text Message app, works on all Android smartphones, does what you want.

I don't know of any Android primary program that does what you'll want. You need to look at 3rd party apps.

I use and love Pushbullet. I installed it in my Samsung phone, Samsung tablet, and the Windows program in my PC.
When I get a text to the phone, all three display it, and any reply in any device is mirrored to the others.
Also, I can transfer files or clipboard pastes from any to any other. I've been paying them $5/month for over two years and still like it.

Not sure what you mean by "Primary" but... that does exactly what he needs.

I believe "primary" is referring to a pre-installed application/feature on the phone.

How do these work, not just on an Android cell & tablet, but ALSO on a laptop, as the OP requested?

Google Voice works on my laptop and cellphone.

After you install and setup the app:

If you use chrome, you can add Mightytext. You put Mightytext on your android phone, and then install the chrome extension on your chrome brosswer on the PC.

I use it all the time.

You are limited to 100 messages done on the PC per month unless you pay. But, I never go over that. On the computer - there is also an add on the right side of the screen, unless you pay.

It is nice to be able to type long messages on a computer. And, if my phone is somewhere else in the house - but I am at my computer - I get notice of a text, and I can just reply right there
