Receive, reply, compose
When you receive an incoming or missed call, voicemail, or text message, you’ll hear a sound and see a pop-up notification where your computer normally displays notifications. Text messages display their content in the pop-up. You can adjust notification settings to hide text message content in pop-up notifications. Or, quickly turn sound and pop-ups off and on by clicking the icons in the extension's window.
The 
icon in the upper-right corner of Chrome shows the number of new notifications.
Before you begin
Be sure your phone is on and connected to the internet with a mobile data or Wi‑Fi connection and that background data is enabled. If your phone or a battery-saving app on your phone is configured to restrict background data when the battery becomes low, then charge the battery or enable background data to continue using the extension.
On your phone, start the Connect 
app, then select your computer and confirm that Account in use is the same account that you used for the extension on your computer. Touch Account in use to choose a different account.
For best performance, keep Wi‑Fi on when the phone sleeps:
- Go to Settings > Wi‑Fi.
- Touch
> Advanced > Keep Wi‑Fi on during sleep. - Touch Always.
