Yeah check out the MKHB video about it…. It’s not reassuring that you’re logging with your iCloud credentials into a cloud server that then parses your iMessage to the phone. From a security standpoint, that’s a big no for me as all it takes is the provider getting hacked and then its spoofing galore.

I have something like this, but it's hosted on my Mac mini, so I don't think need to worry about anyone getting hacked other than myself. Obviously you need a Mac to do it this way.

I can't wait for the EU to mandate that iMessage must use RCS under the hood for interoperability with Android.

There's an article out now with Apple saying they will support RCS by next year https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/16/23964171/apple-iphone-rcs-support

I'm not gonna get my hopes up too high, because I'm afraid of being let down. But if this happens, I'll be ecstatic.
