Kyle absolute game changer!! Nothing about to pull in alot of teenagers

    Yooo this is an awesome idea. I can’t wait!!

    Kyle Not a fan of this move, I feel the goal should be to get rid of proprietary, closed systems like iMessage and towards more open systems like RCS and Signal. This really feels like giving in and accepting Apple’s dominance.

    I thought Nothing was supposed to do the opposite of this, by making iPhone users accept Android. This really feels like Nothing saying that Android isn’t good enough.

    I bought a Nothing Phone 2 and Nothing Ear 2 to prove that Android isn’t just good enough, it’s better. (And because they’re really good products. 🙂)

        I cannot wait to download this on Friday and see how it interacts with my family’s iPhones! Great work from the team, I love the commitment to building windows, instead of walls. Another great addition from this wonderful Tech Brand! 🔥

        Super excited about this and love to see this. However, from a security standpoint I am curious what is going to be done to ensure iCloud data is never breached. With Sunbird, Beeper, etc. you’re essentially just logging into a remote Mac with your iCloud ID. That’s a lot of trust in data privacy ensuring no one accesses that Mac physically or remotely, gaining access to your iCloud account. It’s definitely great to see Nothing pushing the boundaries here and disrupting the walled garden, but I just hope many consider what the cost of that could be by handing over your keys to said walled garden. Can’t wait to see what else Nothing does to further the disruption!

          Waiting for the app to launch in India too!! Hope it will not be late.

          MonocleRB You can’t really get rid of the proprietary, closed system though. You can only disrupt it. This is Nothing providing a bridge, an additional option, to the many who feel handcuffed to Apple. Especially in the US where the numbers are quite staggering for Android VS iPhone, with nearly 90% of teens on iPhone primarily because of iMessage and the stigma that comes with not having iMessage here. Having the option to choose which device you personally prefer while still being able to connect with those you care about without barriers is awesome. This isn’t Nothing saying Android isn’t good enough or isn’t superior to Apple, it’s Nothing saying we’re all equal and communication should equally be free for all to connect.

            Kyle just saw the video of Marques (MKBHD) on Twitter about this. Congratulations Nothing on this breakthrough.

            Just wondering though, how safe this would be, for people to login with their Apple ID’s, on this Chat App, while the server is kinda doing its thing, while you put your credentials in it, although messages are supposed to be encrypted and all. But still, Sharing my login details on an App.. well.. 👀.

            May be the real question is, How critical it is for them? The TA.

              As an American student, this is HUGE. It’s not only about the “blue bubbles” but the if this is what I’m thinking it is, it also means group chats with iPhone and to me that seems like a good innovation no matter how you look at it. Conforming to Apple? Not really, I see it as more of, if apple won’t open up it’s messages to us, we’ll make our way into theirs. I’m especially excited for this not just to get out of Google messages, (please release gallery app soon too 😃) but also maybe(?) The possibility of playing game pigeon, which is an especially fun way to connect with new and old friends!

              This is exciting, another attempt from Nothing to break the boundaries of the tech industry. As the only Android user in the family, I will be sure to test this across my iMessage users and other friends who are also tied to Apple. Excited to watch the continued progress in this too.

              I think it’s a great move. Nothing should not be only a tech company, but a Software too.
