The Chromebook initiative was born as a Google experiment focused on the world of education to become an option more than interesting also for professionals. While there is still a long way to go, the fact is that the arrival of the Google Play store to Chromebooks and other recent features, have given a push to these low-cost computers.

One month ago, the future Chromebook feature of SMS Connect is known as a way to receive notifications of text messages on the Chromebook itself with the possibility of reading them, but not responding. Now we know more about this feature adding that yes, we can not only read these notifications but also answer them.

A description of the SMS Connect functionality has been discovered in a text file of the latest version of Chrome OS: "This feature allows users to read and reply to text messages from their Chromebook. New SMS will appear as notifications. Read and reply to text messages on your Chromebook. "

It should be noted that there are free external applications such as Pushbullet that already perform this function of notifications and response of text messages, which assumes that the possibility of receiving and replying messages on the Chromebook is also a future feature futurible for Chrome OS.
