Hello Everybody

I've owned an android device all my life and used google messages as a text app and the web version for PC access, but due to tired of getting low-quality images and inconsistency with apps, now giving a shot on iphone.

Is there any sort of app/way that allows using SMS function of iphone on windows computers?

I do not want to jailbreak or use any subscription-based service but happy to pay up to two-digit and do not necessarily need iMessage.

Also, feel free to suggest your must have apps for productivity and efficiency.

    You are asking if 'Apple' will let you 'share' their 'usability' with a PC/Android/etc. platform? Chuckle …

      haha now I'm slowly getting why people say apple ecosystem is a cult.

        It comes with the territory.

        Whenever Apple can offer a better experience vs Android, it’s likely due to a mixture of the benefits resulting from them controlling the whole process, and a lack of the negatives associated with making the OS widely compatible, like Android.

        This is a (mostly) necessary cost for the enhanced user experience.

    Who sends pics via mms any more? If this is a continual thing then I'm amazed you haven't worked out better ways of sharing pics

      tell us your ways spackbace.

      I only use fb messenger for friends and family. say if you have to send a screenshot or receipt pictures to fairly known people at workplace or outside your personal space what do you do?

        Friends = Messenger, Discord, Whatsapp, Snapchat
        Work = Teams/Skype, Slack, Email

        There are dozens of well known messaging tools, and most are cross platform and some are also on PC. Whatsapp and Hangouts are on every device (mobile, tablet, pc).

    Not sure whether it works on all PC's … i do not see why not but i have a dell PC but i use Dell Mobile Connect (in Windows App Store)
    It syncs with your iPhone over Bluetooth and Wifi (both need to be on same wifi network)

    You can load OSX in a virtual machine and use that in a window. It's what I do.

    Absolutely love iOS and iPhones but cannot stand OSX for daily use. Just use it for backups and iPhone handoff.

      Sounds like the right solution for me. Thanks.
