Apple launched iMessage service as a part of iOS 5 back in 2011. It is an internet based messaging service that was inspired by BBM (Blackberry Messages). It is useful if a large number of people use iPhone in your circle, otherwise you’ll find limited options in it (just as in the case of BBM). There are a number of apps that allow iOS users to connect with their friends who use other operating systems, through internet messaging for free. We are discussing some of the famous apps here:
