[Michael Goff]

Does anyone here actually have it? I sure as heck don't.

Not here either on my Pixel 2. I'm on the P beta...wonder if that makes a difference.

Maybe. I'm on P Beta on my 2XL. Why would that be a thing?

WhatsApp has done something similar for a while now.

That is true. But I don't know anyone who uses WhatsApp that I talk to. And I'm not going to try to force my family and friends onto it.

I have it on my Pixel Xl, running P dev preview 3. I believe its a server side thingy.

I got a prompt from Messages app after I read this thread. Not sure if I solicited it though. Seems to work ok. However I have been using MightyText for some time and it opens a window with new message sent. Messages just sends a general notification to pc.

Yeah, like Apple Messages, benefits of this feature will be felt most in the US where too many still rely on SMS/MMS as their primary messaging platform.

working for me on my G7 and Chrome browser on my work PC. It's a little slow (slow to send and slow to read new messages) but working OK at the moment.
