I am currently an IOS user, however, as the title suggests, I wish to switch to android. This is because I would prefer to use free software and not be locked into the apple ecosystem. That being said I am already locked into apple and would like to know how anyone else here has managed the switch.

I for one know I will face problems regarding group chats with friends and family on IOS, I will lose out on iCloud+ features, I will have to buy a replacement for my HomePod, I will need to replace apple home, etc.

How did anyone else here who has made such a switch replace or solve these issues?

    iMessage is absolutely an issue, and I don’t think I will overcome it if I make the switch because of how integral it is to my family. I’ve heard of software I can run on a Mac that forwards to my phone. I have an old Mac so does such software still exist and work?

      Sounds like their tricks work.

      Check out AirMessage, you can set it up on your Mac and as long as it’s connected to the internet, you can use the AirMessage app to get iMessage on an android.

      Alternatively there’s Bubble but that requires you to Apple sign in to their system and didn’t seem very safe but it doesn’t require a mac

        Airmessage seems intriguing, I think it may just work!
