How to Get iMessage on PC

You’d think that especially after Apple allowed a dual boot of Windows on MacBooks, they would also let some of the flagship features slide by, but nope!

Well, if you are a Windows user as well as a huge fan of iMessage, there are a few ways to run iMessage on PC, but these are only workarounds and may involve a lot of risks. Check out three possible methods mentioned below along with their potential risks.

Now check out these methods in detail and try out which suits you best.

Get iMessage on PC Using iPadian

If you have a licensed Anti-virus or Anti-malware protection on your PC that keeps your root files sealed at the highest level, you may take the risk of downloading iPadian to your Windows OS. Although, malware is hard to detect and some may percolate under the radar. So, install iPadian at your own risk.

Here’s how you install iPadian and the next steps:

1. Download iPadian from their official website.
2. Install it like any other program on Windows.
3. Launch it. Look for iMessage, or write “iMessage” in the search bar.

Side Note: iMessage requires the use of either an iCloud email or a phone number associated with the SIM card on the device. There is no way to trick this! In the settings, you must enable this option, which is only possible as long as the above requirements are met. So, at the very least, you must have an iPhone.

You may, however, use the SMS and MMS text feature like you do with Android, etc.

Get iMessage on PC Using Chrome Remote Desktop

A word of advice, proceed through this step if and only if you have a Mac along side Windows PC. Using Chrome Remote Desktop, you can easily sync iMessage to Windows PC using a Mac.

Nevertheless, there is a downside to this (besides the fact that you do need a Mac for this whole operation). The drawback is, you won’t be able to install iMessage on your Windows PC, rather use it via Mac as long as the MacBook/iMac is turned on, and do not forget that you’ll need an Apple ID.
