Need something achievable for an extremely tech illiterate person on iOS. I got told about this after they are already gone and have no access to the device, but am asked to solve the problem.
EDIT: (SOLVED) Signal was super easy, works awesome, and was easy even for my mom to figure out on her own. Thanks
Signal works wonders without google play
There is a Foss version repository in f-Droid. Or you can download an apk from their website.
As others have pointed out here, Signal is a very good choice.
If they do not have cell service, they won’t be able to set up Signal, or any other service that requires a phone number (they won’t be able to receive the text message that verifies they own the number).
Simplex chat
Putting in my recommendation for Signal, use it to message, call and video call between android and iOS.
I would say Signal, like others have pointed out.
Alternatively you could try Threema
Second for Threema.

This sounds tricky…
The only iOS message bridge i’m aware of is AirMessage, and that requires a Mac computer to act as the app’s server
They asked for any cross platform messages app, not an iMessage bridge. I’d say Element
Oh oops, my bad - I misunderstood the question…
Don’t blame yourself, it was extremely poorly worded and unnecessarily confusing.
