We discontinued the AT&T Messages website (messages.att.net) on October 31, 2019. Here’s how to manage messages on your phone and use the app on a tablet.
AT&T Messages app no longer available on select devices
You can keep sending and receiving text and picture messages from your Android tablet with the AT&T Messages for Tablet app. And you can still access older AT&T messages in the tablet app. We’ll also back up your messages in the cloud for up to 90 days.
What to know if you're new to AT&T Messages
First, be sure you:

Once you have messages on your smartphone, you can use your tablet app to send and receive messages.
