You can do that a dozen times and if other people pick up an old thread you participated in by iMessage -- you don't even see the message. It's just lost to the ether! You have no control over how those other people group text, and unless they pick up a new green bubble group text, you're just left out. Absolutely infuriating. Because so much of my extended family is on iPhone/iMessage, this issue -- alone -- has kept me chained to iPhone for years, despite repeated attempts to escape.
I'm pretty excited about this development and am saddened there appears to be no way to get it immediately.
- kube-system 4y agoThe feature in this article won't be of any use to you if you don't have an iPhone. > The new version of Phone Link for Windows uses Bluetooth to link a user’s iPhone to their Windows PC. It then “passes commands and messages” to the Messages app on that paired iPhone.
- hcurtiss 4y agoIf I didn't have an iPhone, I wouldn't need it. I do have an iPhone for the reasons mentioned above, and I'm excited to have this new tool as a way of texting from my work Windows PC. While I would like to use a Pixel phone, I cannot escape iMessage.
- frosted-flakes 4y agoI see no reason why that wouldn't work with any phone, even an old BlackBerry. It's just using standard Bluetooth protocols.
- kube-system 4y agoThe 'participating in iMessage' part doesn't work on any phone.
