I myself am windows pc user and its mind bogglingly difficult to use iPhone apps in windows PC. iMessage is one of the app that i need to use while working on my computer and i have to look at my iPhone screen every time i receive updates in iMessage (So annoying).
I have been looking for the solution of this problem since one month and till today i was clueless. All the online blogs, videos, reddit and other sources are suggesting some pain in the mind methods which you canāt even use if you do not have enough technical knowledge. If you are not good with software and operating system, its hard to follow any of the online method people are suggesting online.
When i was looking some of the sources suggested to use remote connection between MacBook to my windows PC lol. If i have had a MacBook, why in the world would i use iMessage in Windows 10 laptop or computer right?
Some of the sources (even authority news sites) suggested to jailbreak my iPhone. You can jailbreak if you do not care about insurance and warranty of your phone. There are some fake browser extensions available in chrome store about using iMessage in browser which are completely scam (Donāt even think about it unless you want your pc to be affected with lost adware and malwares).
When you search for the solution of iMessage on PC you first look at the official source apple. Since you can run WhatsApp on your web browser you obviously think there must be web based online service for iMessage also. Well, thatās a big NO. Itās a more disappointment than a retarded child. Unfortunately apple wants their apps to run in their hardware only. Itās their ancient strategy to sell more product (more like forcing. Damn you Steve jobs !).
But wait there. Since i am a writer, i must write summery of what is iMessage for the sake of my regular readers.
iMessage is messaging app which comes with all the iphones. To use the messaging service of this app you must have internet connection. If you phone is not connected with internet, your iMessage will become SMS. Also you can send messages using this app only between apple devices like MacBook, iPad or another iPhone. Basically its a WhatsApp for iPhone but with more features.
So, Do we have to buy macbook to work this app ? well its a possible solution but only dumbs would do that. So, enough chitchat ! Since i am writing this article, Obviously I have found a reliable solution to run iMessage on windows PC. By following this method you can actually use iMessage just like you use in your iPhone in your windows 10 Computer.
First of all thereās no such software as iMessage for Windows operating system. You can search in Microsoft store, but you wonāt find a official iMessage software for pc like MAC. So what do we do here?
(1) Run iMessage in PC Without Mac using iPadian
Now thereās one software called ipadian. It cost around $25 per computer. iPadian is basically simulator which creates an necessary environment in your windows computer to run iOS apps. ipadian is one of the best and safest simulator in the market which comes with some rich features but in reasonable price.
Not just iMessage but you can also run all types of apps which you are currently using in your iPhone like facetime, clubhouse, Apple notes, Apple music etc. So basically, its your iPhone in your windows 10 computer in just $25.
ipadian.net is the official source from where you can purchase and download iPadian.
First of all open ipadian.net and download exe file.
Install it in your computer and you will see the icon of the iPadian on your desktop.
Open it from the desktop and youāll see iMessage app already there.
Open the app and login with the credential of your Apple ID/Email.
Thatās it! Thank me later.
Dell Mobile Connect is Microsoft App which you can find in Microsoft store and its totally free. You can connect your android / iPhone device usint this app with your computer in just a few clicks. This is more of a notification receiving app. No doubt you can send message from it but it will be more useful to just receive notifications of your iMessage to your PC. So letās see how to connect.
Also like the iPadian, this doesnāt require jailbreak. You can run your iMessage on PC Without Jailbreak through dell mobile connect so its another plus one point of this app.
First of all Open Microsoft Store. Go to the search button from the task bar and type Microsoft Store.
šStep 1: There search for Dell Desktop Connect.
šStep 2: You can install it for free from there.
šStep 3: Now Open it after the installation.
Now you have to download Dell Mobile Dell Mobile connect iPhone app from the app store.
Thereās a one problem in using dell mobile connect. You can not send group messages properly. When you try to send the group message it will be sent to single person sometimes. Other than that its a great app and offers lots of features other then Using iMessage on PC without Jailbreak.
These two methods are the only solution to our misery.
Since this article is about running iMessage in PC i will also show you how you can connect your Mac Computer to your windows computer and use the iMessage app. It makes no sense since you can use it in the mac.
I have both Mac and windows computer but i find windows more user friendly and functional and all of the software i bough is for Windows OS so i need to Run iMessage in my windows 10 PC.
You Need Mac Computer / Macbook in this process.
You Canāt Use it in iMessage in windows 10 PC without Mac by this method.
Your Mac PC And Windows PC Have to be connected with same internet connection.
To use this method follow below given steps.
Now you can use the features of Mac from your windows PC. You can remove this extension form chrome anytime you want. Just go to the Chrome > Extensions > Remove Chrome Remote Desktop.
No There isnāt. Unfortunetly Apple havenāt made and official app to use iMessage for the windows PCs. Also Apple uses their own end to end encryption so no third-party developers can actually make the app of iMessage.
Big No. Thereās not a single extension of iMessage avaible in Chrome store or in any browser. There are some fake useless extension with the name iMessage for PC avaible in the store. Take my advice and stay away from them.
As i explained in first question, There isnāt any app available in the market just like facetime. But you can download iPadian and use iMessage in the PC using that Software.
