First the bad: Apple will probably never bring iMessage to Android. But on the bright side, it doesn't need to. It's impossible to speak in absolute terms without knowledge of Apple's future plans.

It’s not quick or practical. But good news! With iOS 26, Apple is introducing a new “Select” function that allows you to highlight and copy just the specific text you want. Hooray!

Apple should make an iMessage app for Android, profit from it, and forget the Beeper Mini drama - here’s how I’d do it.

In a surprising move, Apple announced it will support RCS in iMessage at some point in 2024, which will make Android and iOS play nice.

Apple, already preparing for the next generation of threats, is introducing upgraded encryption to protect iMessage against future attacks using quantum computers.

Apple’s iMessage is not a “core platform” in EU, so it can stay walled off Microsoft's Edge browser, Bing search, and ad business also avoid regulations.
