🎉 We’re thrilled to launch Beeper Mini: our beautiful new Android app to message with iPhones as a legit blue bubble. Download it today on Google Play! No waitlist, no ads ever, and free for 7 days.
All messages are end to end encrypted. Also you don’t need an Apple account and it connects directly to Apple servers.
I take it you’re not from the US 😅 texting is still the default here, and since apple refuses to open up iMessage and has not yet implemented RCS, Cross-Platform communication is pretty shitty. People get excluded from group chats because even a single user on a different platform will set it back to MMS
Yeah I’ve been excluded from work group chats on two separate occasions because they used iMessage and considering another platform was just entirely off the table.
Although to be honest, I consider being excluded from work group chats to be one of the best features of my phone!
Lol me too but I just had some friends that refuse to answer messages if its not on iMessage. I really hate Apple for doing this and I hope they get forced to open the protocol.
iMessage is pretty great to use honestly. Supports encryption, Tapbacks, read receipts, sharing any file type (not just pictures and video). RCS isn’t implemented in iOS yet and on launch won’t support encryption (supposedly Google is working to add it to the RCS standard, not just Google’s fork, now that Apple announced future support for the standard).
A lot of work, data scrapping and security issue just for a pin ?
Seriously ?
What the point, except to simulate the possession of an iPhone to someone who should be a stranger for you or at least physically far from you ?
I clearly don’t get it.
Scam interest after a sim swapping attacks ? The goal, need to know it !!
