While setting up the Phone Link, you'll be prompted to enable access to your Android device's messages, but if you choose not to do so at that point, you can always turn it on later in the Phone Link settings. 

To do this, open the Phone Link go to Settings > Features > Messages and turn on the toggles for:

  • Allow this app to show text messages from my phone

  • Allow this app to send MMS attachments from my phone

  • Allow this app to receive MMS attachments from my phone

  • Automatically download MMS attachments from my phone

You can also manage your notifications and alerts for messages by turning on the other toggles in the list:

  • Show notification banners

  • Badge on taskbar
