Unfortunately it’s not up to Google to get Apple to open their walled garden. Regulation is what is needed here. The EU’s DMA rightfully considers Google a gatekeeper in the Ads, Search, and Browser business. It’s a joke they’re still considering if Apple is a gatekeeper with regard to iMessage for messaging.

Yup, where I live, everyone uses Line. The only time I ever use iMessage is to talk with my brother back in the US. iMessage gets ignored because it’s full of spam for me.
It’s already in the works. All big messenger services will have to allow federation. So that you may use whatever messenger you please. This should break up the iMessage and the WhatsApp lock-in.

I’m just saying that without it, I really can’t go back to android.
Well, yeah, you can. You just don’t want to
