Sunbird relaunches iMessage app for Android users with subscription fee
Sunbird Messaging has returned to the Google Play Store, offering Android users access to iMessage for $2.99 per month. The service includes reactions and high-quality video support.
Sunbird Messaging is once again available to Android users via the Google Play Store. The service enables iMessage communication on Android devices, providing features such as message reactions and high-quality video transmission.
The service is priced at $2.99 per month. This offering aims to bridge the gap between Apple's iMessage and the Android ecosystem, even as both platforms have improved cross-platform messaging with RCS support.
Sunbird's previous operation ceased nearly three years ago due to security concerns. The company states that its new infrastructure addresses these issues, assuring that all messages are protected in transit and released only upon delivery.
While Apple and Google have enhanced cross-platform messaging through RCS in recent years, Android users can still encounter issues within iMessage group chats, including malfunctioning reactions and replies.
