Sending or receiving text messages on my Mac
I’ve tried to understand the differences between Messages and iMessage on my desktop Mac. I really feels like Apple is avoiding a straight answer, they move the question to an iOS answer.
I have no problem with Messages with Apple users on iPhones or iPads, but been unable to understand the gobbledygook that Apple is trying to feed me on trying to message with android users. Sorry Apple, not all users have the brilliance to use your products.
Seems like Apple is trying to baffle me with bull sh*t.
Blue icon with Messages but Green icon with iMessages (but it only seems to be my iPad.)
Anybody doing this successfully?
Is this a good question?

I run a Mac with a Windows operating system. That's how I fixed my Mac :-)

@ambientprotect Gee Thanks Jared but I don't do Windooze in any form for any reason at any time.

Non Apple user here (Linux and Windows instead)... only difference I see after watching a couple of introductory videos on iMessage is the ability to send/receive video, pictures and more (whatever "more" is) on Apple devices. Youtube seems to have various videos on this topic including the following which displays an actual transfer between an Apple device and an Android mobile phone.

PS Personally I don't use any of that crap so I may not fully understand what your query is about. lol :-)
