Dear Apple: please make an iMessage client for Windows/Linux/web users. I find it really inconvenient that, unlike other iCloud services, I can't get to my iMessages from my other devices.
- dgzl 7y agoIsn't there a running joke about iMessage users talking trash about messaging people with green text?
- ct0 7y agoIts not a joke, this is a "serious concern" of youth these days. I've received comments about anxiety just chatting with an android/other phone user.
- dgzl 7y agoI was being facetious. I know women who have real superiority disorders with iPhone vs. Android, and I know plenty of tech nerd guys with the same disorder.
- pronoiac 7y agoWould that be a spam vector, though?
- joenot443 7y agoMaybe. But I think if it required an iMessage account with an authenticated iPhone, it wouldn't be much of a problem. Still not a perfect solution, but AFAIK, it's also possible to pass iMessage authentication with a hackintosh. So the same spam vector is technically still open, albeit with a bit more work.
- Wowfunhappy 7y ago> Possible to pass iMessage authentication with a hackintosh Hackintosh user here, you can get iMessage working but it takes some effort. You have to choose a serial number that seems plausible to Apple given other information, and then also hope you get a bit lucky. I really don't think this would be a useful outlet for a spammer trying to set up iMessage accounts en messe.
- jasonhansel 7y agoThere's already an OSX version though.
- compuguy 7y agoMight as well make an Android app for iMessage while were at it (I doubt it will ever happen though).
