Using iMessage from Apple with an Android smartphone now there is an admittedly somewhat curious solution. A user who has a Mac at home but wants to stay in touch with his contacts via iMessage with an Android smartphone and not via WhatsApp, Telegram, and more.
For the 10 people around the world that it probably applies to, there is now a solution. Even if not an easy one, because sound knowledge is required, but there are still limitations.
With the free Android app AirMessage, iMessage can now also be used on Android to send and receive messages. Even if a bit complicated.
You absolutely need a Mac on which an iMessage server must be set up, which then communicates with the messenger under Android. You can see exactly how everything works in the video.
But it is of course easier to use WhatsApp & Co. or simply an iPhone. Because the combination of Mac users and an Android smartphone for on the go is extremely manageable.
