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

      Signal is more secure.

      It’s nowhere near as convenient as Telegram, the clients on each OS are at best OK.

      Show me conversation history when I login to Signal desktop. Oh, yea, it doesn’t do that. Is there even a web login?

      From a typical user standpoint, Signal looks like text messaging, and that matters to them. And it’s not simple to manage.

      Signal is coming along, and I look forward to when it’s mature enough that I can get people to use it (again). But they also made a massive mistake in dropping SMS support. That was my best tool to get people to switch. When they dropped SMS, those folks all left signal.

      1. Signal does not allow alternative clients.

      2. Feature wise, telegram is just better, so getting someone switch is easier.

      “Signal is way better” why do you think so?
