The 'SMS Texting' tab in the desktop or Web view shows your phone's SMS inbox. The app itself is divided into three main sections - chats (which shows your conversations with friends and between your devices), devices (which shows all the devices logged into Pushbullet with the same account), and following (which shows different subjects you're following, like the latest updates from the webcomic XKCD, for example) - and on the desktop, you have one extra option, SMS Texting. It can read the notifications that come to your phone, and show them to you on the desktop, so you can leave your phone in your bag without missing out on anything important while you are working on your desktop. You can then message them directly using either the Pushbullet app on your phone, or the Pushbullet app for Windows, Mac or even the Pushbullet website. When you start Pushbullet, it can look a little confusing, but actually using it is pretty straightforward.Īfter you sign in to the app using either Facebook or Google, it shows you a list of all other contacts who are also using Pushbullet. The app itself is only around 5MB to download on Android, so downloading and installing it didn't take much time. The app was recently updated to improve SMS conversations and the new version works extremely well. ( Also see: Nine Things You Can Still Do Only on Android)

A new update now allows Pushbullet on Android to also look through your phone's SMS inbox and to send SMS's to people from your computer.

This can be done without installing any software on your computer, and works even when your devices are not on the same network. The Pushbullet app allows you to share files between your desktop and mobile devices, and share messages between all your devices.
