• Sunbird, the iMessage app for Android, has temporarily shut down due to "security concerns" surrounding its end-to-end encryption. • Reports suggest that Sunbird may not have actually provided the promised level of encryption and was storing data externally. • The app was recently pulled from the Google Play Store and the company has yet to comment on the shutdown.

Tbf I was surprised that Nothing didn't use Beeper. As I recall, that's the most popular "iMessage on Android" app.

Yeah, but at least they've proven to be worthy of trust (contribute a lot to FOSS, offer ways to host your own iMessage server, warn about the insecurity). Sunbird has done the opposite.
