Screen Shot 2013-09-24 at 8.36.01 PMiMessage is expected to be an exclusive messaging service that allows iOS users to send messages, pictures, and videos to one another, just like how BBM was an exclusive for BlackBerry users. However it looks like one enterprising Android user has managed to port iMessage from the iPhone and bring it onto Android devices, and according to the various reports, it looks like the app works just fine! It seems that the developer managed to trick Apple into thinking it was a legit app by posing it as a Mac mini, and it was discovered by Cydia’s creator that the messages sent are forwarded from Apple to a server in China, presumably to the server run by the creator.

While it is not clear what the developer does with the Apple IDs and passwords being entered to the app, it is probably not the best idea to enter your real Apple ID and password just to be on the safe side. However those who tested the app used newly created Apple IDs and passwords so we guess it is safe. In any case if you’re really interested in getting your hands on the app, hit up the Google Play store for the download, but you should probably think twice before proceeding!
