    Are their messages from their app going to show blue to iMessage users or something? Cuz I don’t see why you’d need to reverse engineer that otherwise. Even then… How hard is it to spoof a Mac address or other hardware identifier that says the message came from an iPhone?

    The fact this is even an issue is just ridiculous to begin with. If you give that much of a shit: Use a different god damn messenger that treats everyone the same.
