There’s a new iMessage for Android app — and it actually works
www.theverge.com
The question is how long Apple will let it.

• A new Android app called Beeper Mini allows users to send iMessages as blue bubbles from non-Apple devices.

• Beeper Mini bypasses traditional iMessage hacks by directly sending iMessages from Android devices.

• The app has been praised for its smooth functionality, sending messages seamlessly between Android and iPhone users.

    Which is more convenient?

    And this is 2023, why shouldn’t I be able to just send a video straight to another person if they’re the only one seeing it?

    I don’t support big grey making that decision for me

      You’re missing my point, but it looks like you’re not the only one. Your friend should have sent it differently.

        I mean you just missed your chance at clarifying said point in the very comment I’m about to respond to.

        Try again?

          They’re saying that MMS is trash and everyone should know that by now.

            Might be the only thing he’s been right about, but poor writing skills make his statement… let’s say, ambiguous.

          Nah I’m good. I’m not getting paid to be your tech support here, if you’re not going to pay enough attention to understand plain English that’s on you.

            It’s cool silly, at least I’m able to write cogent statements.

            Original statement was

            It’s not the color of the bubble. It’s the downgraded chat experience: grainy pictures, pixelated videos, and no E2EE.

            Our kid was at a sleepover, recently. We got a video of all the kids playing together, but because it wasn’t iPhone to iPhone the video was a low resolution pixelated mess.

            All you said was a half-coherent statement about sending a link instead, to which I attempted to respond. Now you can’t handle getting called out for having spaghetti for neural pathways, and here we are. Let me know if I need to buy you some crayons for further explanation.

            Good luck in life, looks like you’ll need it 🤭

              And blocked. I sincerely hope you’re not teaching those kids to behave as poorly as you do.
