Well, it's not quite iMessage. It's Phone Link by Microsoft. It does not support group or MMS messages at this time and requires your phone to be connected to your computer by Bluetooth for it to function. iMessage allows you to send messages to other iMessage users using only the Internet and does not require your phone to be nearby for those. This is a whole different animal, but works OK. I started using it yesterday.

I set this up a week ago before I left for the current trip, it works alright but you can def tell it's a workaround because Apple is unwilling to play ball. That being said, this msft solution works just as well as other janky hacks to enable this sort of thing in the past (imessage, beamer, etc)

THE reason I always jailbroke earlier iterations of the iPhone is for the app Remote Messages

The experience was seamless. I'm surprised no one has updated this. I'd jailbreak again for it.

We moved on about 10 years ago. Everyone I know uses WhatsApp.

There's a lot of areas, including parts of the USA, where SMS might be your only option. I've been in a few areas in the past 6 months where that was the case. WhatsApp/Signal still aren't universal.

You can also use the Amazon Appstore on Windows, see https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...b-ad6b1459ff6c
Then you can install all kinds of chat apps, go here and click on "Communication" for some examples
