- jimbobthrowawy 2y agoNot for long, since cross compatibility with android is apparently coming. IIRC, they need you running macos to get the data via a plugin for apple mail. If you only needed an appleID, it could likely be done in a web browser.
- lolinder 2y agoThe cross compatibility is only for anti-stalking features, and is probably implemented in such a way that you couldn't use it to implement a tracker that works in both systems.
