Similarly, you need to open Pushbullet on your computer and sign into it using your Google or Facebook account.

Step #2. Now, open the app on your computer and select Devices in the sidebar. Then, copy anything you want and paste it into the text field. Next, open the app on your iPhone → tap on Pushing tab at the bottom and make sure Me tab at the top is selected. Now, you will see the content you sent from your computer.

Likewise, copy anything on your iOS device and paste it into the app. Then, open Pushbullet on your computer and check out the content.
