Here’s how you can use the Messages by Google app on Android as a handy tool for notes and reminders.
If you constantly forget to put important dates and times into your Calendar app on your Android device, give yourself a little nudge to add that date by sending yourself a text message via Messages by Google. Either now or in the future. But why bother? Let's take a closer look at how to use Messages as an app for notes and reminders.
Sending yourself text messages isn't reserved for the conceited. It's an effortless way to remind yourself of important details when they cross your mind.
Personally, I do this all the time. If a game release or season premiere I was interested in months ago has crept up on me, I'll send a text message to check it out the day of launch so I don't forget about it again. Or if I spot a neat project or a resource for a potential article, I'll text message the link with a note that'll either arrive now or sometime in the future.
The beauty of using this method is that it's as effortless as, well, texting. And because Messages by Google also supports text message scheduling, you can schedule the text message to be sent your way when it will be most relevant to you.
You can text from your web browser using Google Messages for Web, even on your desktop using Google Messages for Web. Linux users can set up and use Google Messages to work on Linux too, making it one of Android's most versatile text message platforms.

But it's even better than that since you'll never lose it. And when was the last time you saw a Post-it note present itself to you to remind you of its existence, anyway? I would hope never.
Remember it all by using Messages by Google to send yourself gentle nudges. It only takes a second. Just be sure you're sending the text to the right person.
