  • Trying to reach your phone
    Just started using Messages through a browser on my PC messages.google.com/. Unless I keep my phone (S22 Ultra) screen on, I get "Trying to reach your phone" on the PC browser. Source: 5 months ago

  • Google Messages Mess - Apple's iPhone Message app vs Web app
    Some messages show up on my phone, but not on messages.google.com ... Some messages show up on messages.google.com but not on my phone. This morning I noticed that on a message thread between my girlfriend and me (about the less-than-important subject of our performance in Wordle this morning) everything I sent to her from the web app showed up on my web app but not on my phone, and every reply from her showed...

  • Messages By Google Across Desktop & Pixel 8
    I'll often read a message on my computer first (as I'll be working and have messages.google.com as a tab) and then I'll look at my phone later, see I have a message, and click on it, only to see it is an old message. Source: 5 months ago

  • pushbullet website
    I can't access anymore the pushbullet.com from my computer. I tried with chrome, firefox. Source: 11 months ago
  • A couple questions about the Firefox extension
    Ah I see. Opening a tab isn't a problem, it's just that it opens pushbullet.com instead of https://www.pushbullet.com/#devices to see the text directly. I came up with a workaround with the "Redirector" extension that replaces the url. Source: 11 months ago
  • Not running on PC?
    Same issue. I have uninstalled (Revo) and installed 5 times and still can't get Pushbullet to work. Now it seems I have to got to pushbullet.com to read and send SMS, instead of doing it local on my PC with Windows 10. Seems to have happened in last 2 days. I can use it via internet access, but what happened to local functionality??? Source: 12 months ago
  • Pushbullet.com synching SMS but Chrome extension is not.
    I go to the pushbullet.com web site and they are all there as they should be. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Large chunks of history missing, File push not possible anymore
    Further when I go to pushbullet.com it doesn't show my recent devices. Although it does show it to me over the pushbullet icon in the toolbar. There are large gaps in my push history on pushbullet.com. Source: almost 2 years ago
