Windows 10 Your Phone app lets Android users text from a PC
One reason I switched from Android to the iPhone is to have more dependable access to texting, so I thought this might be useful to some blind Android users
Windows 10’s Your Phone app links your phone and PC. It works best for Android users, letting you text from your PC and wirelessly transfer photos back and forth. Notification sync and screen mirroring features are on the way, too.
The Your Phone app in Windows 10
is a powerful and often overlooked part of Windows 10. If you’re an Android user, you can use it to text right from your PC, see all your phone’s notifications, and quickly transfer photos. If you have the right phone and PC, you can even use the Your Phone app to mirror your phone’s screen and see it on your PC.
Texting from your PC and transferring photos work right now on current stable builds of Windows 10. The notification and screen mirror features are only available for some Windows Insiders right now, but they should arrive for everyone soon.

Unfortunately, iPhone users won’t get any of that. Apple’s restrictions prevent that level of integration.
