Remember pulling out your Nintendo DS on the bus and messaging your friends over PictoChat? To bring that feeling back, I made "PicoChat" for iMessage! It's free and open-source (of course), so give it a try and let me know what you think! apps.apple.com/us/app/picoc... - ThreadSky

God i wish there was an android app like this

You can grab it here:

Though do note that it is an "iMessage App" rather than a normal app, so it'll show up in Messages rather than on your home screen!

Please don't keep it Apple exclusive.

It’s open source, so someone who is familiar with making Android apps could probably port it.

How would you even begin to do this on android

badfucking.dog•13 hours ago

you could do it with a custom keyboard in essentially the same way as on iOS

And I guess that if it works with iMessage, it will work with RCS.

yeah i’m really not sure why you couldn’t do it easily on android

an Android keyboard version would actually work in more apps like Discord too, since it's just sending a media attachment to whatever text field!

Genuinely the first time in years that I've been jealous of iPhone folks.

Firstly, thank you, this rules!

Can I report a bug to you? If you have a name that is longer than “PictoChat” in the name field, it cuts off text in the text box. Behind the name is the letter T.
