To be fair implementing iMessage support is not entirely within their control, the joy of the walled garden.

  Yes because all other messaging protocols allow any random third party to attach to their service. Microsoft is using an 8 year old documented iOS API.

    Which API? (Genuinely curious, thanks in advance!)
    • scarface74 4y ago
      I just know there is one that smartwatches used before the Apple Watch was introduced. It allows third party watches to receive notifications. Others are thinking MS is just using the standard BT profile for messages that all modern cellphones support

        But that API doesn't allow for replies. Only notifications. So they aren't doing it the same way as Fitbit or Garmin and other smartwatch companies.

          That’s why I’m leaning toward the Bluetooth protocol for messages. https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/specs/message-access-profile-1-1/ https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/specs/message-acces...
