It wants Apple to adopt the RCS messaging standard it uses for the Android Messages app. Google, of course, have been urging an alternate solution to the messaging disparity. “By inventing new technology that gives Android users iMessage on Android, one can enjoy the most popular functions and features uniting the top messaging apps that people use every day. iMessage has always been one of the main exclusive features within iOS that most Android users wish they could have, especially in the U.S. “We’ve solved 14 years of communications challenges associated with Android messaging,” says Danny Mizrahi, CEO, and Founder of Sunbird Messaging. The app makers also plan to bring integration with WhatsApp, Slack, and more – enabling a single messaging app under one roof. Regardless, we certainly can’t imagine Apple is going to sit back and accept a third-party bringing one of its prized features to Android without its blessing. However, considering an Apple ID is required, you’d think some of that tech was involved at least. The makers say they have “invented new technology” to make it work.

It’s not yet clear whether the makers need to get around Apple’s proprietary technology to create this application.

The result will be conversations with iPhone owners, without the need for an Apple device. Users won’t need another Apple device or relay software, just an active Apple ID to use Sunbird, according to the report.
