Sunbird Brings iMessage to Android, but Security and Setup Questions Remain

Sunbird has released an Android app on Google Play to bridge iMessage to Android, reviving a prior effort with Nothing; it requires an Apple ID login, offers a 14‑day free trial with $2.99/month or $24.99/year afterward, and promises end‑to‑end encryption and no message storage, but users should note limitations (no phone-number messaging, reported setup issues) and the need to trust a third‑party connection to Apple servers, prompting security scrutiny given Sunbird’s history.
