Though I enjoy using WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, Apple’s Messages app remains my favorite choice across iDevices. Most of my friends who use Windows crave to use iMessaging. They often ask me, is there a way to use iMessage on Windows PC?
Finally, I have decided to help those friends use iMessage on Windows. If you also wish to take the advantage of this tip, you can also join the party. Let’s find out!
How to Get iMessage Access on PC in Windows or Linux
-
- On the Mac with iMessage, you will need to enable Screen Sharing on the Mac via the Sharing Preference Panel
-
- Next on the PC to get and use iMessage from, you will need a VNC client app (RealVNC or TightVNC are two common options for Windows users, TigerVNC and RealVNC are options for Linux )
- Open the VNC client in Windows and connect to the Mac with Screen Sharing enabled, do this by pointing the VNC client at the IP address and then logging into the Mac with a valid user login
-
- Now from the Windows PC you are remotely logged into the Mac and have full-screen access to that Mac, including access to iMessage via the Mac Messages app
Remember screen sharing allows for full remote control of a computer over the internet or LAN, so this is really only appropriate for using your own iMessages from your very own Apple ID from your own Mac.
You’ll notice this does not depend on any Hackintosh method, nor any virtualization of Mac OS or any other tweaks, mods, or third-party apps. In fact, there are no third-party iMessage apps for Windows or for PC currently, and at the moment Apple does not offer an iMessage client on Windows or PC either.
For what it’s worth, this same screen sharing feature in Mac OS can also be used from Mac to Mac very easily via the iMessage app itself, but since the Mac has Messages app and direct iMessage access there is less need to do so for this purpose anyway.
