Over the years, I’ve researched, considered, and/or tried several potential solutions.

(Note: the combination of Windows and Android can achieve comparable integrations, but I’m less likely to switch my phone to Android than my computer to macOS.)īut what if I could figure out a SIMPLE way to integrate the Messages app on my iPhone with my Windows computer? The ubiquity of the Messages app on all Apple devices, including iPhones and Macs, is almost enough to convince me to switch computer platforms. Then, I copy and paste it between the Apple Mail app and the Messages app on my iPhone. In fact, sometimes when I need to send a long iMessage or text, I’ll compose it on my computer and email it to myself.

To enable better integration between my phone and computer, I really should switch either from Windows to macOS or from iPhone to Android. And while I’ve used both Macs and Windows PCs over the years, I prefer the latter. The iPhone has always been my smartphone of choice. Unfortunately, my (stubborn) technology preferences have led me to adopt this incongruous combination. I like each of them by themselves, but, mixed together, they leave much to be desired. How about iPhones and Windows computers? That’s more like peanut butter and hummus.
