However, if you’re wanting to access your iMessage on Chrome OS, the answer isn’t that simple.
If you’re using third-party chat apps, you can always install the web version on your Chromebook and get your notifications via Chrome or a PWA. This is all great news if you’re an Android user but what about those that prefer an iPhone? Unfortunately, these integrations will likely never find themselves paired with an iOS device but that doesn’t mean that you’re left out to dry. Thanks to the ongoing work around the project known as “ Eche,” we will eventually have the ability to mirror applications directly to our Chromebooks in a free-standing window on the desktop. Soon, Android devices and Chromebooks will further blur the line between desktop and mobile. You can silence your phone right from the shelf of your Chromebook and even use the locate phone feature to ring your device if you’ve misplaced it. Phone Hub allows you to access your device’s notifications, reply to messages, view recent Chrome tabs, and more. With the evolution of the in-built Chrome OS Phone Hub, the symbiotic relationship between Chromebook and Android phones has become near-seamless and it just keeps getting better. It goes without saying that Google’s Chrome operating system lends itself much more to those of us who use Android smartphones.
