It would be great for the world to get iMessage on Android, maybe it would serve to erode the stranglehold of WhatsApp in many countries. From a business perspective it still might not make sense, but many iPhone users are now using WhatsApp and Facebook messenger over iMessage. Android users around the world rarely use These same apps over sms to an even greater extent. This means Apple is losing market share on their own platform. If this continues, the lock-in they fought for is gone. Will families still feel they’re unable to buy an Android phone for their kid when they talk to everyone on Facebook messenger?
