If your friends only have a phone and no email (hard to believe but statistically true) then look at this article for sending to them from an email program. Use a desktop and email if you want to send LONG sms (you can input faster and with more clarity) β its what it was designed for. Remember that the transfer protocol for email is SMTP (SIMPLE mail transfer protocol) to make is simple to use and fast β exactly like SMS (SMALL message system) which was developed for SMALL messages. But I would then argue that you should just use a good email program for this. If your priority in desktop SMS messaging then unencrypted is the only way to do it. Anything βnewβ from Google will not cut it. My point is that if you want secure messaging (which I presently do and use Whatspp) then you will need to move you and and main contacts off of Google Android SMS and Google OS agnostic programs like Whatapp. Signal tolerates, on the phone, encrypted messaging which Whatsapp does not but does not tolerate is on the Windows desktop (presumably because of the operating system limitations on apps sending encrypted things without adult supervision). For sending SMS from computer, you can use MightyText. Yeah, Signal is dedicated to end to end encryption there is no denying that: so it is more a replacement for Whatsapp at the desktop level. I would suggest that WhatsApp is not a replacement for SMS but rather an alternative to SMS.
