If Windows can support native iMessage - none of this is an issue. I may as well stop using iMessage altogether, and switch to AIM (which none of my other friends use). iMessage is beloved by iPhone users thanks to its wide range of features that go beyond traditional SMS messaging, including the ability to react to text messages and to see when your friends are. And she has to install an AIM client on her iPhone to get that message on her mobile device. Conversely, if she adds an AIM account to her Windows PC - I now have to use AIM to send her a message rather than iMessage. Basically, the BlueStacks is being used to get Android apps on Windows PCs only. BlueStacks App Player is also a really useful tool for trying out Android apps, and if you already have an Android device you can get BlueStacks to control the apps already. Now my iMessage to her is delivered to her iPhone only, but not to her Windows PC. Since this is an Apple app, so use an iPadian emulator only. Replace her Mac with a Windows PC in the above scenario. She can choose either device to respond from, and it's very convenient and seamless. She gets my message on her iPhone (when she's on the go), and her PC (if she is working on her Mac). When I send a message to my wife - iMessage delivers it to all her devices. AIM isn't supported by iOS Messages app, it requires a separate app and a separate account. The reason why many people (like me) use iMessage is that it integrates traditional SMS and "enhanced" instant messaging into a single unified inbox on every device (Macs, iPhones, iPads).Īdding AIM into the mix breaks the unified inbox model.
