weMessage brings some iMessage functionality to Android devices

Messaging app weMessage is bringing iMessage to Android devices, albeit without some of the iOS app’s functionality. The app works by using a Mac as a sort of server to relay iMessages from the computer to the weMessage app on any other device, which includes Android phones. The app supports group chats, read receipts, AES encryption and a variety of audio, image and video attachments, but won’t support more proprietary things like Apple Pay Cash. For Android users looking to get in on the iMessage conversations of their Apple using friends, weMessage is a decent tool, but it’s far from a fully functioning replacement for iMessage.
