If you're already using Google Messages as your default SMS app, Google Messages for Web is one of the easiest and most convenient options. It mirrors your OnePlus SMS on a web browser in real time, meaning you can send and receive messages seamlessly on your computer. There's no need to install additional software, and it's entirely free.
However, this method does require an internet connection on both devices and only works with Google Messages, which might be limiting for users of other SMS apps.
Here are the steps:
Step 1. Set Google Messages as the default SMS app on your OnePlus phone.
Step 2. Visit https://messages.google.com/web on your computer.
Step 3. On your phone, tap the three-dot menu in Google Messages > "Device Pairing."
Step 4. Scan the QR code shown on your computer screen. You can now view and reply to text messages directly from your browser.
Phone Link (formerly known as Your Phone) by Microsoft is perfect for Windows users who want an integrated way to view OnePlus messages on their computer. Once paired with your PC, it allows you to check messages, receive notifications, and even access photos, all from the desktop.
While setup is straightforward and it offers deep integration with Windows 10/11, this method is only available on Windows and may lag slightly when handling large message volumes. Here is how it works:
Step 1. On your Windows PC, open the Phone Link app.
Step 2. On your OnePlus phone, install Link to Windows from the Play Store (if not pre-installed).
Step 3. Sign in with the same Microsoft account on both devices.
Step 4. Pair the devices via QR code or manually.
Step 5. Once synced, click on the "Messages" tab to view SMS.
If you're mainly looking to back up your messages and view them later, SMS Backup & Restore is a lightweight and efficient choice. This free app lets you back up your OnePlus text messages and upload them to cloud storage like Google Drive or Dropbox. Once backed up, you can open the files on your computer using a text editor or XML viewer.
While this method doesn't offer real-time message access or the ability to reply, it's perfect for archiving important SMS for future reference without needing a USB connection.
The following are the steps:
Step 1. Install SMS Backup & Restore on your OnePlus device from the Play Store.
Step 2. Launch the app and create a backup of your SMS messages.
Step 3. Save the backup to your Google Drive or Dropbox account.
Step 4. Access the backup on your computer and open the file using a compatible viewer (like a text editor or XML reader).
Whether you want to actively manage your OnePlus SMS on a large screen or simply save them for future access, there's a method that fits your needs:
Choose the one that best suits your habits and technical comfort level to enjoy easier SMS management from your computer.
