Honestly, if iMessages is one of your main apps on your iPhone, DO NOT switch to an android phone. Period.
Android doesn’t have anything like it. iMessages is simply amazing, no doubt about it and 99% of everyone I know who tried out an Android phone ended up returning it after a few days because of iMessages.
If you live in Europe, that will very likely be a non-issue though. With a market-share between 9 and 30% in most European countries for iphones, iMessages isn’t very important here. Almost everyone uses WhatsApp and / or Snapchat anyway.
