Matrix has good interop, you can use it.

I’ve looked into using Matrix bridge to be able to communicate with iMessage groups from Android. There’s a repo / company called Beeper that seems to maintain some bridges.

But tbh haven’t spent enough time with it. Looks like a lot of setup and maintenance. Would LOVE to be able to talk to iMessage from android

I use Beeper. There is a bit of a setup process adding the different chat networks but there's next to no maintenance in my experience. It pretty much just works.

the downside is that it decrypts your messages on their server before sending them in either direction. so even if you use an e2e encrypted messenger like Whatsapp or Signal with it, Beeper could still read your messages.
