Call/text on other devices

[Katrina White1]

I love this feature because at night I'm often reading on my Tab with my phone no where to be found, but i dont miss any texts. What I hate is when I grab my Tab and all the texts (Google messages) from the day start popping up.

Is there a way for messages seen on one device not to show up on the other?

Not sure, but once you read a message it should show as read on the other device.

It doesn't. All the messages I've gotten and read on my phone come up in the notification bar when i open my tab. So annoying.

That's weird. Mine is the opposite and you are using the device pairing feature on Google messages?

All my messages that I have already read on my 22 ultra show as read when I later open Messages on my computer but I don't get notifications on the computer. But it works differently on my Tab S6 because that gets notifications, and even Gmail does as you describe. I think it is because a notification is sent to the Tab at the same time as it goes to the phone. So reading a message on the phone does make it show on the Tab as having been read, but it can't erase the notification that has already previously been delivered to the Tab.

Yes, Google messages.

Ahh. Makes sense...
