Yes, but those aren't SMS. Google has Messages, which does the same, i.e. handles both native and SMS messages, and is only available for Android.

- standardUser 3y agoLike I said above, iMessage is just a partial WhatsApp clone, but behind a gate. The thing is, for users behind that gate, it coopts SMS too, removing it as the universal standard. I suppose the same is true on Android if people use their stock messages app? But what drawbacks does it have when messaging an iPhone user? I've never heard of any problems (I don't use that app) but I hear about the differences iPhone users experience all the time.

I've never heard of any problems (I don't use that app) but I hear about the differences iPhone users experience all the time. There are no differences with iPhones, other than the green bubbles. On the other hand, Google Messages tags SMS with "Sent as SMS". The issue is purely based on aesthetics, if anything. Green versus blue bubbles. But there are really no interoperability issues with iMessage handling SMS.
