When it comes to native messaging apps, Android is still light years behind the competition. Android Messages can’t hold a candle to the likes of iMessage and won’t be able to for a long time. Thankfully, Google is finally doing something about it in the form of Android Messages, which will attempt to offer features such as group chat, emoji support and a platform that isn’t based on SMS. Today, Google rolled out a web client for Android Messages which will allow users to send texts via their desktop.

Android Messages for web works very similarly to the rapidly dying Google Allo. To get started, you need to visit messages.android.com to generate a QR code that can be scanned in the Android app via a new “Messages for web” menu. When rolled out, this will appear by tapping the overflow icon in the top-right corner.
