Rumor: Apple will introduce iMessage for Android at WWDC

Excerpt from the above link...

"Apple is planning to bring its encrypted messaging service iMessage to Android, reports MacDailyNews. Citing sources familiar with the matter, the site says that the company plans to announce the move at its WWDC keynote next week.

If true—and that’s a big if—the move would push Apple further into the messaging space as it tries to grow its ‘Services’ category on the back of dwindling iPhone sales. Note that the Cupertino firm already offers Apple Music on Android."

My thoughts. 

Now there's something I haven't considered :smileysurprised:

Reminds me of Blackberrys decision to allow BBM on iOS.

Rumour at the moment but definitely something to consider. 

Your thoughts.

What do you think ?

Never happen ?

It's viable. 

A positive move or not ?

Apple executive explains why iMessage isn’t on other platforms

Excerpt from the above Link.

"Speaking to a “senior Apple executive,” Mossberg says Apple is happy with the 1 billion+ active devices it currently caters to, so it doesn’t feel an immediate need to grow its user base by expanding to other platforms. It also still considers its iMessage service a major iOS-exclusive feature."
