Have any of you android users setup an iMessage server such as BoueBubbles or AirMessage? Or some similar?

If so, how well does it work? Is only an apple account required? Do apple users send your email an iMessage? Also, was it easy to setup?

Thanks!!!

It’s been on my agenda for a while to set up a Matrix server with an iMessage bridge with the idea I could interact with all of my message protocols from one place. I haven’t gotten around to it, but it might be worth a look.

I own a Mac and a pixel 8. I use blue bubbles. It works great. Don’t have any issues with it. When you send messages through it, it goes through your email associated with your iCloud account
