Android Authority named Sunbird one of the 5 best new Android apps for September 2026.
Sunbird brings iMessage to Android, real blue bubbles, full group chats, no iPhone or Mac needed. It's good to see that recognized by one of the most widely read Android publications.
"If you feel left out by being the only Android user in a sea of iOS friends, Sunbird might be a viable solution."

The recognition comes just weeks after we opened Sunbird to everyone on Google Play, where more than 181,000 people signed up for early access ahead of launch. The app is now open to all Android users, with a new priority inbox that keeps your most important conversations up front.
And this is just the beginning. WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger are next, followed by Sunbird Intelligence, our on-device AI, and Instagram DMs shortly after. The goal is simple: every conversation you have, in one place.
