Edit: NOTE, I am the receiver of the texts.

So many people asking me to have my wife do something different on her end.

Beloved, she is on iPhone because she doesn’t want to do anything “weird.” She is texting from her phone number using her texting app. That’s what’s going to happen.

Now, why can’t I get iMessage on my android phone? If it’s just a messenger app why not make it available for Android?

I’d use it.

    Because imessage is proprietary and apple is against it being publicly available and a standard.

        Yes but it wasn’t marketed that way. Which is why there is more interest.

        Apple has been blatantly obvious that they want it to remain proprietary and exclusively on their hardware.

          This is true, Google has cared less about the hardware and more about being the platform to run all of it. Not all that different than Android in that regard.

          I’m still not sure why people are so quick to jump on board though. You can degoogle Android, it’s much harder to degoogle RCS.
