Now, if you are unaware, iMessage is an Apple-only service as it solely works on the company’s own devices such as iPhones, iPads, and Macs. It is the part of the closed ecosystem which Apple is known for and as a result, the app has never been available for Android or Windows users since its launch. However, with Beeper, Migicovski states that you will be able to access iMessage on your Android, Windows, or Linux devices “using some trickery”.

How Does It Work?
Now, if you do not have a Mac that can be connected to a network at all times, then the company will send you a jailbroken iPhone with the Beeper app installed. So, you will be able to use the jailbroken device as the bridge. And if you think that the company is joking about sending you an iPhone, Migicovski later confirmed in a comment that this initiative is actually real. This means you will not only get iMessage support on more platforms but an older-gen iPhone as well.

You can find the entire list of supported messaging services right below:
Whatsapp Facebook Messenger iMessage Android Messages (SMS) Telegram Twitter Slack Hangouts Instagram Skype IRC Matrix Discord Signal Beeper network
Now, do keep in mind that Beeper is a subscription-based platform with a monthly subscription fee of $10 (~Rs. 730). We cannot confirm if this price includes the jailbroken iPhone or not, but it most likely should. You can check out Beeper on its official website and sign up for the service from this link.
