Pressure grows on Apple to open up iMessage
(finance.yahoo.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I use Beeper. There is a bit of a setup process adding the different chat networks but there's next to no maintenance in my experience. It pretty much just works.
the downside is that it decrypts your messages on their server before sending them in either direction. so even if you use an e2e encrypted messenger like Whatsapp or Signal with it, Beeper could still read your messages.
