Unofficial Chrome app created to make it easier for ChromeOS users to access android messages.

This shows a handy icon in the app drawer and also supports multi-tasking with an app window that can be resized to fit your workspace requirements! *NEW v1.5* Added a dark titlebar theme and theme toggle. Make your app window styling match the theme selected for Android Messages for Web! Check your SMS text messages on your computer! You can use your computer to chat with your friends through Messages for web, which shows what’s on your Android Messages mobile app. Android Messages for web sends SMS messages using a connection from your computer to your phone, so carrier fees will apply, just like on the mobile app. Note: The QR code for Messages for web is unique to your computer and pairs the mobile app to that computer. You can pair your Messages account on multiple devices, but only one will be active at a time.
