iMessage on Windows

[mid-tierplayer]

apple trying to make it's apps work on other platforms challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

[neonthefox]

Do you miss when companies actually worked together in one way or another to make thing convenient for the end user? I certainly do

[iknowdawae]

Apple: no iMessage on windows
Microsoft: fine, then i'll do it myself

[Nicolas.Himself]

Apple in 10 years: okaaaay you'll be able to connect your iphone to any pc, but hou will need an special $1000 bluetooth usb device connected permanently to your pc and a monthly sub of $10 for the service.
Oh yeah, and messages will take longer to send.

[alexandst]

Of course they are mad it ruins their little monopoly

[CristianTheRich]

Phone link has usually sucked but recently ive noticed that even on windows 10 some updates have made it quite nice to use

[abysstoid]

Kde connect works too. There’s a windows version I believe and works on all devices

Looking forward to compare this to intel unison

Maybe we shouldn't trust the company that acts like every other competitor is either wrong or doesn't exist

Air Message is what I use. I have an old Mac that acts as the server and then when I want to send a message from my PC, it will contact the Mac and send the message through the Mac. So you get sending messages from your computer and iMessage

[DanielJacksonMusic]

I’ve tried this and it’s pretty cool, you get iPhone notifications and such too

[McPersun]

Apple has some very clean models but they just hate happiness

[keyofb]

Intel unison just walked in. (Its amazing btw)

[NayshunNinja]

I like how Intel Unison for iPhone+Windows dropped and was awesome and the Microsoft dropped an official first party app a month later 😂

[phillippejean-marie]

I love the phone link app that Microsoft has because if I need to write a long message to someone I prefer to type it on my computer

[raycert]

The feature is not over Bluetooth, its over the local network.

I use it on my pc that lacks Bluetooth.

[TheRealRusDaddy]

Maybe if apple didnt exclusively work with job’s spaghetti code from the 80’s maybe they could have a functioning product at a decent price nah theyd still yid it up on the price

[shocknaw]

Don’t forget intel unison which already is just iMessage on windows

[megatronskneecap]

Tim Cook and Satya Nadella sort of have a good track record with each other.

[Maradnus]

There is not a hope in hell i would let Microsoft have direct access to my messages let alone my phone.
