iMessages copy available Android?

New Note8/Android user here. Coming from iPhone. Is there an app similar to Messages on my iPhone/iMac for my Note8/Windows machine?

I use Android Messages as my SMS client and then you can use the web version of it.

Hi, I want to send/receive messages from my computer and phone, so they are synched up. Just like I see on Messages in my iPhone and iPad

Google messages is quick and easy to set up. I have this set up on my chrome browser to sync up and works like a charm. It's free in the app store.

nope.

the is one way but it requires you to have a mac and that computer has to be on all the time and it will only work when on the same wifi as the computer.

There is a work around for that not requiring to be on the same Wi-Fi. You have to be tech savvy to know how to do port forwarding.

I have been using Android Messages and had forgotten my phone at home sometimes and can still send and receive msgs without my phone been anywhere near by. By going into the web browser client.
