Unfortunately it’s not up to Google to get Apple to open their walled garden. Regulation is what is needed here. The EU’s DMA rightfully considers Google a gatekeeper in the Ads, Search, and Browser business. It’s a joke they’re still considering if Apple is a gatekeeper with regard to iMessage for messaging.
Apple has removed your ability to choose for yourself what to buy because of their strong grip with iMessage.
It’s already in the works. All big messenger services will have to allow federation. So that you may use whatever messenger you please. This should break up the iMessage and the WhatsApp lock-in.

Over here everyone uses WhatsApp. Don’t expect the EU to solve this particular problem for you.
You spelled Telegram* wrong… 😢
There are some regional differences. But iMessage is definitely not a monopoly anywhere.

Yes I am aware that it’s not possible for google to implement it, without some kind of lawsuit. Which they should do.
I’m just saying that without it, I really can’t go back to android.
