Title: iMessage is never coming to Android, so please stop asking Post by: HCK on August 21, 2019, 04:05:12 pm iMessage is never coming to Android, so please stop asking
<article> <section class="page"> <p>Ask any Android user to name an Apple app that they’d like to have on their Galaxy or Pixel phone and the answer will almost universally be the same: iMessage. And the likely reason behind that answer? Green bubbles.</p><p>While Android users have no idea whether the person they’re texting with has an iPhone, Android, or a Windows Phone, Apple makes it very clear what device you and your friends are using. Messages from iPhone users are wrapped in serene blue bubbles while everyone else’s bubbles are colored in a garish green hue.</p><p>And we Android users would love for that to change. Not only are we tired of our iPhone-loving friends chiding us for ruining group messages, but we’d also like to see what all of the fuss is about. We’re still waiting for a do-it-all messaging app on Android, and an Apple client is certainly intriguing, especially for those of use still lamenting the loss of Allo. I’m willing to bet that if Apple were to release an iMessage Android client in the Play Store, it would quickly become one of the most downloaded messaging apps, challenging Google’s own Messages, WhatsApp and Signal, at least at launch.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3432730/apple-imessage-never-coming-to-android.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: iMessage is never coming to Android, so please stop asking (https://www.macworld.com/article/3432730/apple-imessage-never-coming-to-android.html#tk.rss_all) |
