Messages for the Web use a wireless link from your computer to your phone, for sending SMS messages, so carrier charges will apply just like the use of the mobile app.

How Can Use Messages for Web?
Once the pairing is complete, customers can use their web browsers to send text messages without having to check their cell phones.

Your message history will appear in the left-hand window with your open messages to the right. To access settings, archived messages, enable dark themes, send feedback, get help, or sign out, tap the overflow menu.
The dark theme can also be activated via the Settings menu.
There is a provision in the settings area to change your settings for notification and message preview, linking or unlinking your phone and computer, setting an alert when your phone is using data rather than Wi-Fi, and allowing accessibility options such as keyboard shortcuts and high contrast mode.
Use of Messages for Web Application
To reply to an existing message, simply click on the message in the history list window to open that conversation.
To begin a new conversation, press the “Start Chat” button at the top of your message history list.
Then simply type the name, number, or email address of the contact you wish to send a message. There will also be a list of top contacts available.
Type your text messages at the bottom of the right-hand window in the text entry sector. You can attach emojis, stickers, and attachments to your phone as you usually would, and then press the arrow button to deliver.
Important Features
If you have a dual-SIM phone, by pressing the down arrow, you can pick which SIM card to send the message from the left side of the text entry area.
You can mute a chat by clicking on the bell icon at the top right of the extended view, or opening the overflow menu for extra options.
Additional notification and messaging settings are available on your smartphone.
In short,’ Messages for the Web’ makes Android’s messaging application in such a way that WhatsApp for the web works.
The undeniable difference here is that the “Messages” application depends on the sending and receipt of messages by telecom operators.
But the WhatsApp message app relies entirely on the Internet connection.
This is one of the major advantages of the Whatsapp message app.

The feature provides your text as well as suggestions for emojis as replies.
