So there is this app claiming on-device iMessage functionality on Android. Seems cool but only has subscription based pricing. Does anyone know of a way to circumvent this?

Edit: I found this but it seems a bit dodgy

    Apple hasn’t shut down any other iMessage system, not the original bluebubbles.

      They haven’t because it was slightly convoluted (and you had to fork over some money to Apple) AND it was free.

      They’ve removed the difficult bit, the “apple gets its share first” and the free part.

      I’d be shocked if Apple’s leadership hasn’t contracted a hitman yet.

        Hahahahaha

        It’s definitely shining a light on the limitations of iMessage, especially how imperfect it’s encryption is, so yea, that’s the kind of thing that hits a little close to home.
