Have any of you android users setup an iMessage server such as BoueBubbles or AirMessage? Or some similar?
If so, how well does it work? Is only an apple account required? Do apple users send your email an iMessage? Also, was it easy to setup?
Thanks!!!
Well yea, any IP-based messenger is better than SMS. iMessage is just Apple’s implementation which only works with Apple devices.
Seems to me the people who have a comm issue are the ones choosing to use a messenger that only works on one platform.
I’m not on that platform, and neither is ~80% of the world.
It’s mostly a north american problem as far as I know. In Germany more than 80% of the people use WhatsApp. Almost no one uses sms anymore.
If the alternative is sms I understand why people like iMessage so much.
Edit: Some more data, it seems like iMessage has about as many users as Signal, according to https://www.statista.com/statistics/867539/top-active-social-media-platforms-in-germany/
