No it is not possible. Text messages (in Android) are SMS messsages which can only be sent using the mobile phone network to another mobile phone. As I understand it, the iPhone messaging app will send messages using different mechanisms:
- if the recipient also has iMessage (i.e. has an iOS ID), then the the message is sent as an iMessage using Apple’s own protocols (about which I know nothing
) - if the recipient is not on iMessage, but has an email address, then the message may be sent as an email
- if the recipient is not on iMessage, but has a mobile phone number, then the message may be sent as an email address
In Android
- if you want to send a text message to a recipient’s mobile phone number, you send an SMS, an MMS if there is an attachment (like a photo, contact, or sound clip), or maybe use WhatsApp
- if you want to send to a recipient’s email address, you send an email
Email and SMS are both open standards, which are used and implemented by many different apps, devices and operating systems .
Apple’s protocols are (as far as I am aware) not open, and can only be used by Apple devices and Operating Systems.
You may see that as a weakness compared to iOS, but it’s just the way Android works. Nothing to do with /e/OS. If you want to do things the iOS / Apple way, then use an Apple device or OS, but accept that other users prefer interoperability and open standards.
