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

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.

🫡 Thank you, Senator.
Green bubble texts are less secure. So why would Apple block a new app allowing Android users to chat with iPhone users on iMessage? Big Tech executives are protecting profits by squashing competitors.
Chatting between different platforms should be easy and secure.

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.

Our conversations are deeply personal. If you're trusting Beeper to handle your chats, our operations absolutely must be:

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.

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."
I have to
1) purchase old iPhone
2) jailbreak it with a Linux computer
3) install
@onbeeper
on it
4) make sure it's always plugged in and on wifi forever
5) install app on my Android
6) pair device
But it's all worth it to save iPhone users from having to download 1 (one) app.
