How to Play iMessage Games on an Android Device 

As I said earlier, there are several apps that can be used to run iMessage games on your Android device but in this article, we'll be showing you how to set up weMessage, AirMessage and PieMessage simulation apps. 

Run iMessage games on Android Using weMessage 

First on our list is the weMessage emulator. However, the app doesn’t run independently as you’ll have to have some requirements for it to run iMessage smoothly on your Android device. Here are its requirements. 

• A Mac PC running on macOS 10+ 
• An Android device running on v5 or above 
• Mac PC and Android device running on the same WiFi address (optional) 
• An Apple ID connected to an iMessage 
• Java Developer Kit 7 or above on the Mac PC 
• weMessage app on your Android device 

Once you’ve gotten the above requirements, then you can confidently proceed with the below set-up procedures and start playing iMessage games.
