Really depends how you define the task doesn't it? If it's "I have the ability to message other people" there's plenty of ways to accomplish that on this device. If you define the task as "I need to message other people specifically on a Google/Apple messenger application", well then it's always going to be out of Pine64s hands to some extent?

How about "I need to message other people in a way that doesn't make everyone I know have to change the current way they do things".

I wasn't necessarily referring to iMessage. But, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Slack.

To be fair, I've also failed to find a list of supported apps. The best I found was: https://www.reddit.com/r/PINE64official/comments/okjeuk/apps...

Isn't that the exact purpose of those walled gardens, so it'd be hard to change platforms?

Telegram is working flawlessly on my Pinephone with Mobian.
