So there is this app claiming on-device iMessage functionality on Android. Seems cool but only has subscription based pricing. Does anyone know of a way to circumvent this?

Edit: I found this but it seems a bit dodgy

    Signal is more secure.

    It’s nowhere near as convenient as Telegram, the clients on each OS are at best OK.

    Show me conversation history when I login to Signal desktop. Oh, yea, it doesn’t do that. Is there even a web login?

    From a typical user standpoint, Signal looks like text messaging, and that matters to them. And it’s not simple to manage.

    Signal is coming along, and I look forward to when it’s mature enough that I can get people to use it (again). But they also made a massive mistake in dropping SMS support. That was my best tool to get people to switch. When they dropped SMS, those folks all left signal.
