Microsoft Teams will transition from Skype, with an automatic migration process starting soon. The platform will remove the SMS messaging feature that allowed users to send and receive SMS through a linked Android device by April 2025. Users will need to use the Phone Link app for similar capabilities. Microsoft has begun notifying users about the discontinuation of SMS integration in Teams. To use the SMS feature, users needed a PC with Windows 11 and an Android phone with version 7.0 or newer, along with the "Link to Windows" app. The SMS messages would appear in the Chats section of Teams after linking the devices.
