Windows 10 is a great operating system and it has a lot of features that are not available on other operating systems. One of the features that is not available on other operating systems is the ability to send text messages from your Windows 10 computer. This article will show you how to do this. First, you will need to install the Windows 10 Mobile app. This app can be found on the Windows 10 App Store. Once you have installed the Windows 10 Mobile app, open it and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the screen. This will take you to a list of apps that are installed on your phone. The first app that you should look at is called “Windows10 Mobile” and it will be in the list of apps. Next, open up your phone’s messaging application and type in “text message” into the text box at the top of the screen. You can use any messaging application that you like, but I recommend using WhatsApp because it is very easy to use and it has a lot of features that are not available on other messaging applications. When you have finished typing in your message, hit send and enjoy your beautiful text message!
Microsoft’s “Your Phone” is a powerful app that allows your Windows PC and Android device to work better together. It can also sync notifications between devices and transfer files. In this guide, we’ll show you how it can send and receive text messages.
To use the Your Phone app on Windows and Android, there are a few requirements you must meet. You must have a(n):
Windows 10 April 2018 Update or later. Android device running Android 7. 0 or above.
Before we get started with the text messaging feature, you’ll want to go through the initial setup process for Your Phone on your PC and Android device. Read our full guide for going through that process.

The great thing about the texting feature is that the “setup process” is actually just granting permissions when you first use the Your Phone Companion app on your Android device.
The permissions you’ll want to be sure to “Allow” for the texting feature to work are “Contacts” and “SMS Messages.”
During the initial setup, it’s also important that you allow the Android app to run in the background. This will ensure that the device stays connected to your PC. Tap “Continue” when it asks to “stay connected.”
FInally, tap “Allow” to let the app always run in the background.
With all that permission-granting out of the way, the feature is now ready to use. Open the Your Phone app on your Windows PC and click the “Messages” tab in the side panel.
Messages from your Android device will automatically appear here. Simply select a conversation to open it.
The conversation will open and you can type in the text box and select emoji to add. Click the paper plane icon to send the message.
To start a new conversation, click the “New Message” button at the top of the conversation list.
A new text box will appear, and you can search for a contact to message. Since we gave the app permission to view contacts, it will pull them from your Android device.
That’s all there is to it! You can now send and receive text messages on your Windows PC.
