So there is this app claiming on-device iMessage functionality on Android. Seems cool but only has subscription based pricing. Does anyone know of a way to circumvent this?

Edit: I found this but it seems a bit dodgy

    1. Signal does not allow alternative clients.

    2. Feature wise, telegram is just better, so getting someone switch is easier.

    “Signal is way better” why do you think so?

        1. Signal does not have an official api to be implemented by third party clients. There are very few clients that can work with signal. It does not ‘support’ third party clients.

        2. Well, there are many!

        Chats that can be simultaneously accessed from multiple devices? Video messages? Sticker packs that can be added with links and packs are availiable from one sticker sent? Animated stickers? Bots?(idk if bots are there on signal) Inline bots? Group management? Groups with 200,000members? Modular admin permissions for groups? Emojis with animations? Channels? Usernames? A non-electron app? Themes which can customise every single colour to any color which can be made and shared? Send message without notifying? Group voice channels which people can hope in and out? Screensharing in calls(unsure)? Code formatting? 2GB media upload? Smooth and quick animations everywhere?(this one might be relative) Fingerprint app unlock?(If it exist, its not working for me)

        Theese are the ones i can remember now, there are more
