iMessage For PC

iMessage had been a famous service for people, and now many people are daily using the service, to communicate for official reasons, with their loved ones and much more other reasons. The service allows us to send messages without any separate cost and we don’t have to download any third-party apps in likes of Whatsapp or Viber.

With iMessage, we can also get delivery reports and other information which can actually make our communication easier. On most of the iOS-based devices, the app comes pre-installed. If your friend is using an Apple device, then there are a huge number of chances that he might be using iMessage.

Although WhatsApp is quite popular, still most of the iOS users rely on iMessage for communications, and hence you might need iMessage on PC for a temporary time being till you reach home.

iMessage work on the most costly devices available in the market the iMac or a iPhone, but now we can even get the same services on a Windows-based device, which is quite easy we just have to follow some of the steps which we will be discussing about in the article itself but in a later part.

Workaround for most of the things are made, and if the workaround is made then you can easily make out on how much is the demand for the service. Because if the service is failing on Apple devices, then it’s worthless to make a workaround for it to work on a Windows-based device.

Here are the Methods to Get iMessage on Windows:

All the methods which we are going to talk about are tested on our machines which were running Windows 8 & Windows 10, i.e. latest OS from Microsoft, you can also try on a Windows 7 based machine, and let us know if it is compatible or not.

Method 1 – iMessage on Windows PC by using Chrome Remote Desktop

You will actually find this method a bit of irritating just for the cause that it actually requires you to buy a MacBook or an iMac. This method implies the use of Chrome Remote Desktop and with these, we can clone the screen of the iMac or MacBook on our windows based PC. This is kind of a genuine way to use iMessage for Windows, and we cannot exactly say that this is a workaround for the same.

Chrome Remote Desktop extension is a utility which actually lets us access the screen of any other computer remotely. Now to use this method you need to have iMessage installed on your Mac, which will come installed from the factory. You will have to make sure that your Mac is turned on and is available with a working internet connection.

Step 2: Now search for Chrome Remote Desktop extension on the Chrome extension store, or install it on both computers from here.

Step 3: Once you get the extension installed, now click on the ‘Launch App’ button available on the top right.
