Daniel Zweigart has released an unofficial iMessage app for Android devices on the Google Play Store. The app lets Android users message iOS users via iMessage; however, there are some concerns about whether it's safe to use.

Hacker and developer Adam Bell notes that "it looks like that iMessage on Android hack is super sketch and is spoofing iMessage requests as a mac mini."

Developer Steven Troughton-Smith tweets:

iMessage for Android app has code to download APKs in the background? TOTALLY SAFE. Not rootkit-ing your phone or anything? :D

Link to this app at your own risk. I'd be quick to re-flash and format any device it touches. That's just me, though

@chpwn @SteveStreza @chronic @b3ll as an obfuscated APK w/ the ability to download apks or delta code patches, I'm not comfortable with it

Considering this, we strongly recommend that you don't use the app or at least wait until more details are known.

You can check out some screenshots below...

First of all, it's Android, so..., it's a piece of crab, and Once you enter you apple ID, they have all your information, sounds like a scam to me....,

How could getting a virus harm an Android user? They already have a shit device.

Facetime is still the reason I bought an ipad for my family so they can see and now speak to anybody with an IOS device. I frequently call my friends around the world for free. Yeah tried google hangouts, skype and others but they dont compare with the quality. Imessage is just a message app like whatsapp. Its a good way to message my android using friends for free.

lol read the latest reviews. apparently it communicates with a server in china. virus? trojan? if it's too good to be true, it probably is. avoid.

I use both android and iphones, both run whatapp, never seen the need to use imessage as it's apple only, this product will bridge that divide. When i did use imessage initially it could take up to a day for the messages to get through. text/phone/whatsapp/FB messenger are all still faster.

You can send and receive iMessages to and from a Macbook, iMac, etc. Add that functionality to WhatsApp and I might agree with you ;)

Steve caca - September 24, 2013 at 5:51am

Funny. Android users desperate to use iMessage.

Me - September 24, 2013 at 6:06am

How many people do you know are desperate to get iMessage?

Simon - September 24, 2013 at 5:48am

Why bother? Just buy a damn iPhone.

Me - September 24, 2013 at 6:09am

Like the iPhone is the only cool device out there, iDevices aren't shit without a jailbreak.

6italia0 - September 24, 2013 at 9:39am

Exactly, at least someone other than me gets it. That's why my 5S is sitting in its box until the jailbreak for it is released, til then its my 5 all the way
