yeah but it totally falls down if you have any friends w&#x2F;o iphones!<p>are there any imessage clients for android? apple should just make an official one, and make it good. no immediate benefit, but long term it&#x27;s always valuable to own the platform, and it&#x27;s (amazingly) still ripe for the taking in the u.s.<p>side note: it&#x27;s amazing how shitty the native fb messenger and google hangout apps are for iphone.
