Beeper Mini is back. beeper.com/update Thank you to our incredible users and the broader community. Read more on our blog. blog.beeper.com/p/beeper-min…

Beeper Mini - fix coming soon Our fix for Beeper Mini is still in the works. It’s very close, and just a matter of a bit more time and effort. In the meantime, we have deregistered your phone numbers from iMessage so your friends can still text you. Sorry, you’re temporarily a green bubble again 😞 Annoyingly, the iPhone Messages app ‘remembers’ that you were a blue bubble for 6-24 hours before falling back to SMS, so it’s possible that some messages will not be delivered during this period. Also, we are extending all 7 day trial by one additional week. I just want to say thank you for bearing with us through this wild day (week!). I feel awful about important messages you may have missed today because our iMessage connection stopped working. My sincere apologies for this. Tomorrow is a new day. Onwards!

Work continues to fix the issue causing the Beeper Mini outage. We know how hard this has been for those who loved using Beeper Mini, and we're extremely sorry for the inconvenience. We are feeling good, though, and hope to have good news to share soon.

We stand behind what we've built. Beeper Mini is keeps your messages private, and boosts security compared to unencrypted SMS. For anyone who claims otherwise, we'd be happy to give our entire source code to mutually agreed upon third party to evaluate the security of our app. theverge.com/2023/12/9/23995…

🫡 Thank you, Senator.

Apple appears to be deliberately blocking iMessages from being delivered to ~5% of Beeper Mini users. Uninstalling and reinstalling Beeper Mini fixes the issue. We won't have a fix tonight, but we're working on it.

Beeper Cloud - iMessage works again! We are very proud to say that iMessage is now working again on Beeper Cloud. After a Herculean effort from my amazing colleagues, our iMessage bridge is back in action. Unfortunately, messages received during the outage are not recoverable.

🎉 We’re thrilled to launch Beeper Mini - our beautiful new Android app to message with iPhones as a real blue bubble. 🤳 Download it today on Google Play! No waitlist. No ads. 7 day free trial: play.google.com/store/apps/d…

Good news. Beeper Cloud is now fully working with iMessage. We were down for less than 24 hours. The fix is rolling out and will be live for all users within 1 hour. ✅ Beeper Cloud □ Beeper Mini Don't celebrate too much, let's save that for when we get Beeper Mini back up 😉

Thank you so much for the 5 star reviews!!! play.google.com/store/apps/d…

🚨 iMessage Status Update: Fix Coming 20-Dec: teddit.net/r/beeper/comments…

You love to see it.

Investigating reports that sending/receiving is not working in Beeper Mini 🔎

Huge thanks to Beepsters everywhere. We’re working hard for y’all.

Fix for Beeper Cloud is done, rolling out patch to all users now (3.5 hours remaining til everyone is fixed). Testing fix for Mini now. Will require app update.

We're investigating reports that some users cannot receive iMessages on Beeper Mini and Beeper Cloud.

And...we might have spoken a bit too soon. It's not working for all accounts yet. More work to do, we're going to sleep now but back at it tomorrow.

😅 c/o teddit.net/r/beeper/comments…

Thanks for the Beeper shoutout, @MKBHD!

After an ✨ eventful weekend ✨ Beeper Mini is back. Install fresh from Google Play to: 💬 Fix an issue that broke sending and receiving messages. 🤳 Open chats to the last unread message. 📺 Enjoy more polished video playback. blog.beeper.com/p/beeper-min…

Beeper Launch Day: No more waitlist + we joined Automattic! - No more waitlist, Beeper is now available for everyone! - Beeper has been acquired by Automattic - Our new Android app is out of beta Download now: beeper.com Read more on blog.beeper.com

If you are experiencing a 2FA error when signing in, please try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

Six large lemonades were just delivered to our doorstep from "Panera Cupertino." Bottoms up?

Apple banned some Beeper user Mac computers, New York Times investigated, Apple unbanned. The saga continues! Even after we've shifted our energy from iMessage back to our core Beeper product (15 network universal chat app), Apple cannot seem to get enough! Here's the TLDR:

Good to bone up on "Competitive Compatibility" or #ComCom as Cory drops the knowledge 👇

🫠 Some of y’all actually wishing they would.

"Well well well, how the turntables."

We're very excited to announce Beeper, a new app that combines all your chats into a unified inbox. Built by @ericmigi @tulir293 @KubeSail. Check it out at beeperhq.com

Tomorrow.

“Beeper Mini: trying to bring the world together.” What a way to close @jolingkent’s segment, @nateburleson—we’re trying!

We’re not doing the reset until the fix is released, you’ll be fine.

☝️ Beeper and other cross-platform chat apps (Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal, take your pick) prove that messaging between iPhones and Androids can be high-quality, full-featured, and secure with end-to-end encryption. ✌️ When we choose Apple products over other alternatives, we're speaking with our wallets—tacitly agreeing to the proposition that "Apple offers the best product / service / experience for my needs." If ☝️ and ✌️ are true, please explain why using the Messages app from an Apple device to chat with a non-Apple contact is arbitrarily degraded to an archaic, insecure standard that's been around since the Reagan administration (lmao 1984 to be exact...just...chef's kiss.) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We realize how incredibly inconvenient this is for you. It's super annoying that Apple is penalizing their own customers and Android users who just want secure and encrypted chats. We understand if you choose to uninstall Beeper Mini at this time. Hope to have you back soon.

🫶 To our earliest Beeper (now Beeper Cloud) users: you're the GOAT. 💝 All OGs who paid for the legacy Beeper app when it was a subscription service get FREE LIFETIME ACCESS to Beeper Mini.

Mini iMessage and Phone number registration are back - kinda! If you have an old iPhone, Mac computer, or a friend with a Mac - you are in luck. Follow these instructions to get iMessage working and make your phone number blue again. blog.beeper.com/p/imessage-a…

Why this matters Regardless of what happened before, there is only question at issue right now: Is a hardware ban (with no warning) an acceptable action for Apple to take against paid customers who chose to use a 3rd party client (Beeper) to access iMessage on their own Mac computer?

Just crossed 70,000 new Beeper users in last 3 days! And it's still growing 0.75% per hour... You've all sent in a ton of feedback - thank you! We have a 5-person customer support team and read EVERYTHING you send us (in-app bug report, email, Twitter DMs, Google Play reviews etc). It really, really helps us if you report any problems that you're running into, or feature requests you might have! We work very differently than other apps you might download - we truly care what you think of our app! We try to ship a new version of our apps each week with new fixes and improvements. You can view our past changelog here: beeper.notion.site/Beeper-Pr… Quick roadmap preview: - Continued improvements to Beeper Android (Archive support, stability, performance, UI quirks, connection issues) - Integrating our team and product with @TextsHQ. They were acquired by @automattic last year and are joining the Beeper team. - Huge revamp of Beeper iOS and Desktop in the works. Similar in scope to the Beeper Android rewrite (@bradtgmurray blogged about it here - blog.beeper.com/2024/04/09/h…)

🤫 BEEP-BOOP! We're cooking up something sweet. ⏳ Come back TOMORROW, Dec 5 at: 7am Pacific 10am Eastern 3pm UTC

📈 You know your community's hit a milestone when it's calling for moderation and guardrails. To keep r/beeper vibrant, welcoming, and informative, we've drafted Community Rules for review and are recruiting moderators from our grassroots. teddit.net/r/beeper/comments…

📣 UPDATE: amidst deliberate targeting of Beeper Cloud and Mini’s stable compatibility with iMessage, users can now restore their connections and resume reliable messaging starting today. Get the full details on our blog: blog.beeper.com/p/imessage-a…

Update is now live on Play Store. No need to download from our website anymore. play.google.com/store/apps/d…

🚧 Work continues on Beeper Mini.

Tick tock...

Affected Beeper Cloud users - please contact Beeper Help. We can fix it very easily for you if you let us know

Allow us to reintroduce ourselves.

Haha Dylan’s got jokes. 😂

Just to be ultra clear - this is not a widespread problem, and affected 30 users. Apple reversed course quickly, and we don't think they are going to try this bullshit again.

More Beeper beta coverage today on the @verge, thank you @emroth08. Beeper couldn’t bring iMessage to Android — but it can still make a great chat app theverge.com/2024/3/20/24106…

💬 Note that this update restores chatting on iMessage with your AppleID email, if you do not currently have a iPhone number tied to your account. Work continues on longer-term solutions that better meet Beepsters' expectations.

🤖 c/o teddit.net/r/beeper/comments…

We've been a bit busy, haven't tweeted too much. Here's the update we sent to Beeper Cloud users on Jan 11

The new Beeper is here. An upgraded experience, powerful new features, and the launch of Beeper Plus. It’s not just a better Beeper, it’s a reason to start chatting.

Are you a Beeper Mini user with an old 📱 iPhone (6/6s/SE1/7/8/X) and a Mac or Linux computer? Follow these instructions to get Beeper Mini working completely, including phone number registration: help.beeper.com/desktop/how-…

With our latest software release, we believe we’ve created something that Apple can tolerate existing. We do not have any current plans to respond if this solution is knocked offline. The iMessage connection software that powers Beeper Mini is now 100% open source. Anyone who wants can continue to develop it if they’d like. github.com/beeper/imessage

📟☁️ iMessage for Beeper Cloud is back in business—for real this time. You should be able to send + receive iMessages. 💬 If you get a notice about a new "Mac" added to your account, it's because Apple doesn't know how to say that "Beeper" has re-established its connection.

The kids are alright! The key to Beeper Mini's story is JJTech: "the 16-Year-Old Whose Code Is Jailbreaking iMessage." Join @LaurenGoode as she gets to know him in her latest for @WIRED.

Just an FYI - we share this with everyone who starts using Beeper

😂 Would you want this feature jn Beeper?

Lmao HOLIDAY BREAK. 🎄🕎🎇🫠

Beeper Blog: We’re building the best chat app on Earth blog.beeper.com/p/were-build…

Our conversations are deeply personal. If you're trusting Beeper to handle your chats, our operations absolutely must be: 1. Transparent 2. Open Source 3. Private and Secure "How Beeper Mini Works" is both a technical deep dive and statement of our values.

A lot of work to meet friends where they are + accommodate their preferences in a world where iMessage interoperability is actively, arbitrarily, and hypocritically nerfed based on the specious, bad-faith claim of "security."

While we understand that this solution will not work for everyone, please know that we’re doing our best given the circumstances. Each time that Beeper Mini goes ‘down’ or is made to be unreliable due to interference by Apple, Beeper’s credibility takes a hit. It’s unsustainable. As much as we want to fight for what we believe is a fantastic product that really should exist, the truth is that we can’t win a cat-and-mouse game with the largest company on earth.

The feature being paid for is your Android phone number working in iMessage. All other remaining Beeper superpowers—even when they migrate to Beeper Mini's architecture—stay free. blog.beeper.com/p/beeper-clo…

Our new Beeper 📟 Android app is now live on the Play Store! Long story short - it's beautiful and fast. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly fast it is compared to our v1 app until you try it. So try it out :) play.google.com/store/apps/d…

It's a "we'll release it when it's done" situation.

If you are a Beeper Mini user but don't have access to Beeper Cloud yet, you can use our Mac iMessage Registration Code tool immediately: github.com/beeper/mac-regist…

FYI: Beeper does not currently support iMessage, but there’s good reason to be cautiously optimistic about the future. In March, the US government took up our fight and sued Apple for blocking Beeper Mini’s access to iMessage. The FCC is also investigating. 🤞 Apple has also announced that iPhones will support RCS chat protocol in 2024. Good news - Beeper already supports RCS! This should fix most iPhone ↔ Android chat problems, like low resolution images/videos, lack of typing indicators and encryption.

We’ll post when fixed.

Beeper's iOS app is now available on the App Store! Works with iPhone and iPad. Yes, we still have a waitlist...you can use the iPhone app to see your spot in line. We're working our way through as fast as possible! blog.beeper.com/p/beeper-upd…

Beeper Blog: Beeper is now free blog.beeper.com/p/beeper-is-…

It's not you! We haven't sent out Beeper @username invitations to anyone yet. Apologies for the delay! Few more days.

Nice review for XDA. Good feedback too, FYI we're working on the FB Messenger connection reliability this week! xda-developers.com/beeper-ha…

"Free" services aren't free. They are monetizing you and your data in different ways that you don't notice every day, usually by selling your user activity to brands for advertising.

Special Friday bonus - for a very VERY limited time, skip the Beeper waitlist by filling in this form. Limited to first 500 entries. If you click link and it's behind an email sign in form, it means you missed it. Follow for more opportunities! forms.gle/7cCQ3K1SgfEqxNYE8

Soon. 🤫🤫🤫

🚨 Hello, police? I'd like to report a murder.

✌️ Two big ways to show support: 💝 Kind reviews on the Google Play Store. Beeper Mini took an understandable hit during the outage. 📣 iPhone peeps: show us to your Android friends! Make chats together secure with the fun features you expect. beeper.com

📟 Monday’s Beeper Mini update restored chatting on iMessage with your AppleID email, de-registered phone numbers from iMessage, and made the app free until further notice. Work continues to get phone number registration back online. blog.beeper.com/i/139697957/… // 📺 @SamtimeNews

🎉 All Beeper apps now connect to Google Messages with full ✨RCS Support.✨  🫶 Special thanks to all who helped us beta test, refine, and deliver one of the only apps with RCS messaging on all platforms. blog.beeper.com/p/out-of-lab…

The chat app we need. The chat app we deserve. blog.beeper.com/p/introducin…

Full details We’ve received and authenticated reports from 30 Beeper users who’ve had their personal Mac computers banned from using iMessage. These users configured Beeper (Cloud or Mini) iMessage connection to use their Mac, as per our December 21 update. We are taking this opportunity to share the results of our investigation with our users. Facts: - All reports are from Apple customers who own a Mac computer - Users were not sharing their Mac or registration code with anyone else - No warning was given to these users (by email, text or any sort of alert) before the ban - Apple Support claims that ‘spam’ is the reason for the hardware ban. - 30 user reports (out of 3,500 users who set up an iMessage connection in Beeper since Dec 21st) - This is a new change that Apple made since Dec 21, 2023. We know this because we previously used a system of Mac Mini computers to generate registration data for thousands of Beeper users. None were hardware banned from iMessage. - Apple IDs continue to function normally, and iMessage continued to function on other Apple devices. No Apple ID accounts were negatively affected. - Starting on Jan 24, we began receiving reports that affected Mac computers were no longer banned from sending or receiving iMessage using Messages app. If you are affected and your Mac has not yet been unbanned, we recommend reaching out to Apple Support. Please send us a message (via report a problem inside Beeper app) as well so we can document your case. We have disabled the ability for users to start new iMessage connections from Beeper Cloud at this time. If you set up an iMessage connection in Beeper since Dec 21st and would like to disable it, open Beeper Desktop → ⚙️ Gear → Chat Networks → iMessage → Delete.

📱 Our work continues to restore phone number registration. Please sign in with your AppleID email to get Beeper Mini up and running for now. When phone number registration is back, we will announce the change and make AppleID sign-in optional again. blog.beeper.com/i/139697957/…

Not a day goes by that we don't get asked about the 🐘 in the room. Thankfully, @SnazzyLabs' Beeper Mini video covers 3+ years of answers we've given on the topic in five snappy minutes. 📺 02:50–07:12 » piped.video/S24TDRxEna4?t=171&s…

💡Beeper Mini makes the experience for iPhone users better too, since iMessage chats are infinitely more secure than SMS convos. Why would Apple deprive folks of this new perk?

Fun Fact: Beeper 🍎 iOS has been (quietly) using the iMessage solution Beeper Mini runs on since 15-Nov. From the app: ⚙️ » Chat Networks » iMessage » "Upgrade" will appear if you're still using the old connection.

In the new year, we’re shifting focus back to our long-term goal of building the best chat app on earth blog.beeper.com/p/were-build…

Apple iMessage Facts According to Apple, iMessage is not a fee-based service and Apple does not monetise it via the sale of hardware devices. Additionally, Apple states that iMessage can be set up on one device multiple times by different users. See page 31 of Apple’s response to European DMA proceedings ec.europa.eu/competition/dig…
