iMessage unfortunately
What do you like better about it over Signal or Whatsapp?
Apple would get so much more money out of me charging $20 a month to use imessage on windows/android vs waiting for me to replace my iphone. I get I am the rare user but by golly I wish they would go multi platform.
Im running a mac os virtual machine with the app/server called airmessage. I get iMessage for my family group chats now though it's tied to my email.
Iโve heard of it but didnโt want to buy a Mac or trust a third party with my messages.
I don't trust it either but I'll pick my insecure conversations over my family/friends complaining about contacting me (and contacting me less).
Didn't pay a thing for the VM
