#IMESSAGE FOR ANDROID REVIEWS ANDROID#
But when it arrives, it should remove a small point of friction in iPhone to Android communications, even if it’s still a far cry from offering iMessage natively on Android. The feature doesn’t appear to have widely rolled out just yet, even for users with the latest beta version of the Google Messages app - we tried but were unable to force the emoji reactions to display in our own tests. According to Droid-Life, the emoji reactions aren’t exact translations of what the iPhone. It keeps your chat thread clean, works great, and hopefully will be available to everyone soon. The new app helps make the transition between mobile platforms easier by helping users import their contacts, calendar, photos, and videos to their new Android smartphone. Google’s official iMessage alternative and texting app for Android, Messages, has just released a new beta that shows all iPhone reactions as Emoji. Almost everything else when moving from iOS to Android has a workaround, an app, or some way to. iPhone users can also retroactively change their emoji reaction, and the change will be reflected seamlessly in the Android app. Google has launched a new Switch to Android app on iOS in a number of global markets, including the US. Many Android fans believe in a sort of holy grail: That iMessage can somehow be brought to Android. The heart emoji, for example, reportedly appears as heart-eyes on Android.
Interestingly, emoji reactions sent from iPhone seem to sometimes appear as different emoji on Android. Tapping on an emoji reaction displays a popup saying that it’s been “Translated from iPhone.”
Screenshots posted by 9to5Google show how the emoji reactions appear attached to the intended text, as though they were sent by another Google Messages user. Screenshot: 9to5GoogleĪfter the update, however, the message flow is a lot simpler.
