Apple released Messages for OS X Mountain Lion for Mac users to stay
in touch with other iMessage contacts through their computer and what a
great idea it was! Unfortunately, however, if you have a Windows or
Linux computer or don’t have access to your Mac then you are limited to
how you can communicate.
Not to fear though, if you have a Jailbroken device you will be glad to know a tweak by the name of
Remote Messages replicates as much functionality as possible of the Messages app in any modern browser like Chrome, Safari or Firefox.
The
tweak isn’t new,
but it has been updated for iOS 7 and 64-bit devices. The other benefit
of Remote Messages is you can send both traditional SMS and iMessages.
You also get features like file attachments, camera roll access,
contacts and pictures and much more.
You can download Remote Messages from the BigBoss repo for $3.99. If
you owned the previous version it is available for only $1.99.
Once you go ahead and install the tweak here’s how you set it up.
- Go into Remote Messages preferences tab in the Settings app and set a
username/password you wish to login with. You may also set any port
number you wish.
- Next simply slide the Enable toggle to the On position and allow a
few seconds for the tweak to activate (if you are having issues
connecting to the server reboot your device).
- Now simply ensure that both your iOS Device and computer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
- With that said take note of the IP address displayed at the top of
the Remote Messages preferences panel and enter that into your web
browser follow by : , then the port number. Example:
http://192.168.1.5:455
- Lastly authenticate yourself and you are golden!
