    Do you have a Mac? Or can run a Mac VM? You can use bluebubbles on a Mac that will let you use iMessage on non apple platforms

      Yeah this is my solution. I run Bluebubbles on my Android phone and have the bluebubbles server running on an old mac mini.

      This was a huge part of me being able to switch back to Android after being on iPhones for 6 years.
