You can run Android apps on almost any non-Apple brand of phones, Windows PCs, Linux, Mac OS and Chromebooks.

You can run iMessage on Apple devices, nowhere else.

Surely you see the difference.

I know what argument you're trying to make, but I think it is disingenuous to pretend that WhatsApp is free while iMessage is not. As a practical matter neither is free, and both are free.

iMessage is not free insofar as one much purchase an iPhone to use it.
