Also, I'm excited to announce that Beeper has been acquired by Automattic. This acquisition marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter as we continue our mission to create the best chat app on earth. In many ways, our journey has only just begun. Beeper has just over 115,000...

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.

Some Beeper users lost access to iMessage on their Mac and were told by Apple that the company had revoked access due to irregular activity

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: [image]

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.

@cs_deathmatch Until phone number registration is back, Beeper Mini connects to iMessage with your AppleID email. The only difference is the auth tokens secured in Beeper Cloud are secured locally on your Beeper Mini device. https://www.reddit.com/... [image]
