There is imessage for android app on Play Store
Yes, read it. It requires an always - on Mac, running as a server, essentially forwarding messages. So, of no interest to me.
Plus, it has been attempted before. And article points out it is probably going to be short-lived which the young talented developer conceeds would likely happen.
Just a matter of when and how Apple disables it. And how Apple pushes out security updates and then no going back.
If iMessage access is very important to someone, they should simply switch to an iPhone, IMHO.
If I wanted an iphone, I would have one. I've always been a samsung gal and happy to be.
The reason I ask about imessage is my daughter has iphone, for that matter most all my family does. But for some reason my daughter has problems getting text from me. May just be her phone. So thought I'd ask if imessage would work on s8.
Its not so my text shows ios
I could care less about that.
If I did, I wouldn't have my s8+.

not to sound like an apple hater or anything because I have a MacBook and my kids use iPads
But why is iMessage so important to people? it always puzzles me
It's just a "little" bit better SMS client. Pictures and videos go thru faster cause it uses wifi...
I use my S8 to send videos and pics all day, I group chat with people that are on android and iOS in be same room and we all send messages and media just fine
I asked one of my friends this and he said "well on android you can't swipe thru pictures in the chat window or send more than 1 pic at a time with android and its very slow" so I picked 17 pictures and sent then to his iPhone with my amazing Verizon signal and they went to him within 2 seconds... then I swiped thru those 17 pics plus the other pics that was in the chat window days/weeks/months before that moment
I honestly think people just love the green/blue thing that shows "Hey! I'm an iOS user too!!!" is having a status that serious? lmao
FaceTime I could definitely understand but iMessage doesn't seem enough for me to stay on a certain cell phone. It has little surprise SMS and dance music and crazy things like that lmao really?
my last post was not towards you in any way I apologize if it looked that way.
I was just speaking in general
