Comments about BlueBubbles Android Version

Needed to text with iMessage with a few people, yet I really prefer pixel phones over iPhones for so many reasons. This app has a huge barrier to entry because you need to have a Mac mini and leave it running 24/7. The setup on the Mac mini takes an hour or two. All of that being said, once the Mac mini and this app are up and running, it works really well! The Android software is some of the best text software out there! I was able to buy a Mac mini with Catalina for $80 on eBay.
So far so good. It was a process to set up, but thankfully the instructions were very easy to follow. I do notice it disconnects occasionally, but it's been pretty smooth overall. Images take a while to load, but that's not a huge deal. I also love the different app theming options to make it fit in with Google/material or Samsung design. It'd be nice to have a Material You compatible icon for the homescreen though. Odd omission since the entire app can be set to use Material You themes.
Clever means of using iMessage on an Android phone, but the process is involved if you're not tech-savvy. However, the developers do work on making the process easier, which goes to show how much care is put into BlueBubbles. I've found that the support is very helpful on their Discord channel — a feature I suggested there eventually made it in, too!

What is an XAPK file, and what should I do if the BlueBubbles I downloaded is an XAPK file?

Open up
A file with .xapk extension is a compressed package file. It is a container file format that incorporates APK and additional associated files required for the installation. The XAPK format was introduced to package the APK file and OBB file together for a seamless delivery and installation process. XAPK format can help reduce the package size of application. On mobile phones, users need to install the XAPK installer first, and then install XAPK files through that installer. You can find the installer here:https://apkcombo.com/how-to-install/. But on PC client, you just need to put the file on LDPlayer.
