Apple’s messaging network has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, though it has long been locked down to their platforms. But now, AirMessage makes it easy to send and receive iMessages on any Android device.
Definitely a cool technical project. I could have got on board except that I would have needed a dedicated Mac as a server host. I obviously can't use my day-to-day Mac for that, as I'm carrying it around with me most of the time. That prevents me from making AirMessage my go-to texting app bc I wouldn't be able to use it on the go. And if it's not my go-to app I'd rather remove it (for privacy reasons) and just use my native Android messaging. If I really need to iMessage someone I'll just stick with using my Mac and icloud address.
Pros:- Works as advertised - Gives very detailed instructions
Cons:- Potentially very intrusive from a privacy standpoint - Does not have all the iMessage features - Need a dedicated host Mac
