  Can't vouch for how privacy respecting it is but there's an app called Air Message that basically is a messenger app that relays to a apple server that you make by putting a piece of software on a mac mini that you have at home which then forwards all your imessages to the recipients, apparently it uses tls encryption.

• Windows to Linux Switch

  Yeah so I'm an Android user and I had purchased mine to run Airmessage so it really wasn't doing much. The hardware transcoding capabilities are amazing (if you have plex pass). If it's just sitting there doing barely anything else, I'd say it's worth a try. I have my media on a machine running Unraid and I mount a network share on the mini running plex. I made the switch about 2 months ago and have been pretty... Source: over 3 years ago

• Is there a method to read incoming SMS messages on iPhone?

  Sure there is - you'll have to do it yourself, but check out https://airmessage.org - built by an 18 year old canadian. It lets you "use" imessages on android and / or a web client. I don't think it's open source, but I bet you could do something like set it up, set up the web client, and use something to scrape the web client for your messages.

• Can't send high quality videos over SMS and MMS

  If they want to keep using iPhones and iMessage there are also apps like AirMessage (free, but requires a constantly running mac) and Beeper (paid, but works out of the box).

• my friends said they wouldn’t text me if i bought a pixel

  If you have access to any Mac computer and have an Apple account, you can still iMessage them by running a simple server on the Mac. AirMessage has made huge strides in the years I've been using it. If you have any questions on how to set it up or use it, let me know. I've used it to iMessage my friends from my Pixel phones for years and still use it to this day. Source: almost 4 years ago

  I was thinking of using it as an air message server as well would it be possible to do that on Linux? Https://airmessage.org/. Source: almost 4 years ago
