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.

Actually my PhoneLink does have a small circle next to the message, and it has a read check mark when the message is "read". The circle disappears after some period, but the most recent one is clearly visible. I have PL version 1.26042.95.0.

Yes, I noticed that having it hang around it is smooth but it doesn't work with notifications, where I can single click the SFA code to copy and paste into the web page waiting for one. Launching the GMW on my laptop takes about 9 secs each time. PL is more like 1 sec.

Wasn't that the same problem when you switched from win7 to win10 and win10 to win11 :wink: *lol* 😁

I'm so glad i don't use a smartphone, so i don't have this kind of problems.:cool:
