Push notifications to WIndows?

[RainColt]

Im looking for a way to get my cellphone notifications to show up on my windows computer, and allow me to read and send texts, is there an app or something that will do this

I use AirDroid, that does an ok job. I think there is a full program you can download, but I just use the hosted website on my phone.

But I thought I read something that Microsoft just released something that does this. I just remember It was something like windows phone is finely dead so they are hooking up android. I could be totally wrong.

Yeah, the Cortana app on android and iOS has this support, but it requires Cortana to be enabled on your pc (and therefore requires windows 10 1703+).

 

I haven't actually used it, but for basic message push I'm pretty sure it works for it. It certainly works between windows and windows phone; I'm pretty sure the android/iOS version has more functionality.

Cortana is a dirty word, I'll give Airdroid a shot

Pushbullet works very well, have been using this for a while now.
