There’s a new iMessage for Android app — and it actually works

Hate to say it but who gives a fuck?

Just use signal.

I'll just continue to use my old strategy of not voluntarily communicating with people who care about what color my text bubble is.

Fucking insane a 16 year old kid figured it out.

It's always wild to me thinking how good kids are with tech these days to be able to crack something like this (assuming it's true).

Crazy to think this is just because of a different colored bubble

im good thanks

I don't get why Americans are so obsessed with iMessage. There's like a million chat apps out there.

Is this available on iOS?

Stop trying to make this a thing

As nice as it would be to have all my messaging in one app rather than across a half dozen, I just can't picture paying a monthly fee to do it.

I started using it mainly to not have pictures and videos sent get all degraded, it does work.

Anyhow all my friends were like OMG, YOU GOT AN IPHONE because my messages started coming through blue and I was like, why does that fucking matter?

This is like when I started drinking my coffee black and suddenly I knew the secret handshake at every coffee place I'd order at. Baristas would be like, "the way it should be" and wink and shit. Um. I guess I'm cool now or something

Can some American please explain this European why this is such a big deal?

Sunbird worked - I was in the beta - but it turned out to have no encryption whatsoever. I am skeptical.

So if the app will be open source like they say, can't we just build it ourselves and not pay $2/mo?

no, thx

The fact that people are using iMessage for group chats is which a weird concept to me.

That’s what discord, WhatsApp and Facebook messenger are for.

If anyone adds my primary text message service number to a group chat they are being blocked. Gross.

Is the app already down? I can't even read reviews of it on Google Play store

Impressive if true.
