Google (Android) Launches Major Campaign Challenging iMessage

Over the years,  the fight between Android and Apple has been fought on the issue of iMessage compatibility. Google believes that by upgrading its iMessage system, that would improve messaging experiences across both platforms when it comes to better communication between Android and iPhone users.

According to Google, this update could allow iMessage to work on Android phonesbut it would be different from how it works on iPhones. That may be a technical differencebut it would mean more users for iMessagehence bridging the messaging gap.

To this, Apple has not repliedEver since the ecosystem of the company began in the 1990sit was wired to function with easeAn across-the-board iMessage would benefit not just Apple users but also allow easy communication without the help of other apps and networks.

The situation is especially drastic in the U.S., where iPhones are leadingInteroperability would no doubt make life much easier for many Americans. Google has tried expressing its wish for Apple to proceed with something compatiblebut given Apples history of trying to make technology and exclusive features pivot around themselves, the future remains speculative.

Google (Android) has launched a Major Campaign Against iMessage

Apple has a few choices to make: develop completely new messaging system across both platforms or reject Googlesuggestion and focus on augmenting iMessage to an even unparalleled experience against others. According to Google, this update could allow iMessage to work on Android phones, but it would be different from iPhones. That may be a technical difference, but it would mean more users for iMessage, hence bridging the messaging gap.

Over the past couple of years, Android has led with new features, and Apple has lost a little popularity. This may shift shortly and push Apple to take action. Whether that would be towards a universal system or making iMessage best in class, the decision by Apple is likely to shape the landscape for messaging.

Most of them are awaiting the day when Apple will make amends and finally make iMessage available to the Android OS, bridging the chasm between the two operating systemsSince the future is not toldpersons curious about this technological race must keep themselves abreast with the development regarding this technology.
