iMessage Is Working Perfectly on Kompakt!

I was able to sideload OpenBubbles via Aurora Store and it works perfectly.

Full iMessage on my Mudita Kompakt which was my dream. I am a heavy Mac user and have an iPhone as my “work phone” so I have an iPhone number and iMessage account that is well used and my primary way of communicating (in the USA iMessage is the main messaging service!)

OpenBubbles is super easy to setup on your mac. They even have a waitlist for people who don’t own an iPhone and want to convert their Android number to iMessage. It’s $9 a month.

I made a YouTube short on my channel if you want to see it @ultramaze is my handle on YouTube. The title of the short is: " iMessage on Android Dumbphone!"

I also installed KeyMapper so all I have to do is long press on the volume down button and it triggers OpenBubbles.

I’ve only installed Waze, Audible, YouVersion Bible (had to get an older copy that didn’t require Google Play), and a chatGPT app called gptAssist via F-Droid.

It gives me everything I need to get around in life and nothing more. really a fun weekend and after work tool.

the only thing I hate is the camera. as a father of three young children i didn’t realize how amazing it was to have the iPhone 15 Pro camera on me 24/7. i picked up a little camera called the DXO One that sits in my other pocket and it’s been a fun EDC camera to tote along with the Kompakt

Thanks ultramaze.

Do you use a seperate sim/phone number on the kompact and then connect OpenBubbles to your iPhone #?

Correct! I have a number with AT&T that is for the Mudita, only friends and family have that number… but OpenBubbles is synced with my iPhone number which is mostly used for work

Do you think it would be possible to have only 1 number and still have this work?
