Nothing users are in for some good news. The smartphone manufacturer is getting ready to release Nothing Chats, a new messaging app that gives the Nothing Phone 2 compatibility with iMessage. It will also include some features from iMessage.
The app turns text bubbles blue, which indicates its compatibility with iMessage. Other features include read receipts, full-resolution media sharing, voice notes, and RCS.
Unfortunately, this app will exclusively be available on the Nothing Phone. It will roll out as a beta test first before getting a public release.
Nothing says this app is private and secure, so there should be no security concerns. AndroidAuthority shares this message from a Nothing spokesperson:
“Once you log in to the Chats app for the first time using either your existing Apple ID or creating a new one, your credentials are tokenized in an encrypted database and become associated with one of Sunbird’s North America or Europe-based Mac Minis (depending on where you’re located), creating an encrypted relay for iMessages sent through the app. Once the relay is created, it’s locked and cannot be accessed by Sunbird or anyone else even if they had access to the physical server itself. The only action Sunbird can take with the relay is to delete it.”
Nothing Chats will be available starting November 17th in select countries.
