How to See iMessage Reactions on Your Android Phone
If you’re an Android user who frequently communicates with your friends or colleagues via iMessage, you may have felt the exclusion of not being able to view reactions to your messages. However, there are some methods you can use to easily see iMessage reactions on your Android phone. Here’s how to do it.
Method 1: Use a Third-Party App
The most efficient way to view iMessage reactions on Android is to use a third-party app named “AirMessage.” This app allows Android users to access iMessage on their phones and view reactions. Here are the steps you need to follow:
Step 1: Download and Install AirMessage App
The first step is to download and install the AirMessage app from the Google Play Store. You can simply search for “AirMessage” in the search bar and click on the install button.
Step 2: Set Up AirMessage
Once you have installed the app, you need to set it up. For that, you need to have a Mac that has iMessage installed. Here are the steps:
– Install “AirMessage Server” on your Mac.
– After installing, open the app and follow the setup instructions.
– Connect your Mac to a VPN, and make sure that the VPN connection is running.
– Open the “AirMessage” app on your Android phone and enter the IP address and password provided by the AirMessage Server on your Mac.
– Click on “Connect,” and once the connection is established, you can start using iMessage on your Android phone.
Step 3: View Reactions
Once you have successfully set up AirMessage on your Android phone, all the iMessage conversations will appear on the app, and you can view all the reactions.
Method 2: Check iMessage Notifications on Your Mac
Another way to view iMessage reactions on your Android phone is to check notifications on your Mac. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Enable Notifications
The first step is to enable notifications on your Mac. Follow these steps:
– Go to “System Preferences” on your Mac.
– Click on “Notifications.”
– Scroll down and select “Messages.”
– Enable the “Show notifications on lock screen,” “Badge app icon,” and “Play sound for notifications” options.
Step 2: View Notifications
Once you have enabled notifications on your Mac, whenever someone sends a message or reacts to your message, you will receive a notification on your Mac. These notifications will appear on your lock screen, and you can view them by waking up your Mac. After that, you will also see the reactions on the iMessage conversation on your Android phone.
