We've got some news we're proud of. Android Authority named Sunbird one of the 5 best new Android apps for September 2026.
For anyone who's followed the journey, you know what this means to us. Sunbird brings iMessage to Android, real blue bubbles, full group chats, no iPhone or Mac needed. Being recognized by one of the most widely read Android publications, on their short list for the month, is the kind of moment that makes the work feel worth it.
"If you feel left out by being the only Android user in a sea of iOS friends, Sunbird might be a viable solution."
— Android Authority
That is the whole reason Sunbird exists.
The recognition comes just weeks after we opened Sunbird to everyone on Google Play. More than 181,000 people signed up for early access ahead of that launch, and the app is now open to all Android users, with a new priority inbox that keeps your most important conversations front and center.
