Can you use iMessage on Android?
Yes, it’s technically true that i. Message only works on i. Phones and other Apple devices. But you can use a little (legal) hack to send and receive i. Messages on your Android phone using third-party apps. But before we dive into this, we want to say up front: you do need an Apple computer or other device to do this.

Messages sent to the Mac on the Android device. However, at this point, you are limited to receiving i. Messages while the Mac and Android device are on the same internet connection.
Can iPad send text messages to Android phone?
The answer is no. Ipad cannot send text messages on it’s own to an android phone except using a third party app in sending the text messages or using an i, and phone. By default, i. Pad isn’t built in such a way to send text messages except for imessage which is only available for ios users.

Does iMessage send SMS by default on iOS 7?
Back in the day, I remember that an i. Message would not send, then it would send an SMS by default. I believe that this setting is ‘un checked’ by default when upgrading to i, and os7. I just flipped that switch on my phone and now it’s seamless to send texts to former i. Phone, not android user. Just my observation.
