With the demise of Samsung Messaging...


Thanks, all. People will always have different preferences. I'm surprised so many like a desktop "app" when it is merely a link to another browser instance, I guess. What ever it is, it is slow.

I like PhoneLink because it integrates very well with my desktop work environment; it has a portion of RCS implemented but the Borg won't license RCS completely to MS, per Grok. I really don't think I care.

I might need to learn more about GMW, however. For example, I open it and after several seconds it paints the screen with a conversatation I had back in May. Everytime, it is the same conversation though I've more recent ones. I would think the last conversation should be the default. Advice on that would also be appreciated.

I tried all the options like Phone Link, GMW, and others..., finally, I just paired my MX Keys keyboard to the phone..., easy peasy.

Actually, if you install GMW as a PWA, and stay signed in, it's a pretty smooth operator.
