This is second nature for Mac and iPhone users—you just need to log into the Messages app using your Apple ID on both devices—but you can also send SMS messages from Android through the Your Phone app in Windows (search for it from the taskbar) and the companion mobile app.

If you need to text from Android on a Mac, the Android Messages web interface is probably your best option. Sending texts from an iPhone on Windows isn’t really an option, but WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Signal, and Telegram all have web or desktop apps.
