Google rolls out Android Messages for web

Google is rolling out its upgraded Messages platform to desktop web browsers, allowing users to send and receive texts from their PC.

The feature will become available for users this week, and can be enabled by selecting “Messages for web” under the More options menu in the mobile app.

Guess I'll have to wait.

PS: I know it says 'this week'

Anyone have this working yet? I still dont have the option on mine.

I have it working. It works as expected, though doesn't seem quite as smooth or quick to update as Pushbullet, which I was using before.

Update came in this morning, can access now via web.

I got access last night. Linked it now when I got to work and it seems to work fine.
