iMessage Support for Android
At one point prior to WWDC ’16, a fairly sketchy rumor suggested that Apple would bring an iMessage app to Android. That, of course, didn’t really ever happen — and likely never will unfortunately. It is possible, however. Unlike SMS, iMessage is an internet-based standard much more akin to WhatsApp, Signal or Facebook Messenger. Apple could bring it to other platforms. But, again, it probably won’t.
