• The company claims it has replaced its old architecture with new architecture focused on privacy.

Remember the whole Nothing Chats debacle from last year?

Well, Sunbird is back, hoping users will forget the past and will give it a second chance.

Through a press release, Sunbird announced it plans to relaunch its beta iMessage for Android app. The company says it is sending out invitations to those on its waitlist in small phases starting today.
