Beeper, the app in the news quite a bit recently due to its intense battle with Apple over trying to make iMessage accessible on devices other than iPhones, is back with a new release of Beeper, the universal chat app.
This is not just an update for Beeper. As the developers describe it, this version of Beeper is “infinitely better than our first app.” According to the Google Play listing, it offers a clean chat experience, native chat bubble support, a multi-network search function, adaptive layout for foldable devices, and support for what appears to be 13 chat networks.
Supported networks include WhatsApp, Instagram, X, Telegram, Google Chat, Discord, Slack, and plenty else.
If you were a fan of the original Beeper app, we imagine you’ll appreciate this new one. Early feedback we’ve seen from users looks positive. So long as they don’t intend to include iMessage, I’m sure all will be well.
Check it out and report back.
I also get not available for this account yet using multiple emails.
Put my email in and got a code and it’s not working for me. “Not Available for This Account…this app is not yet available for use with this account.”
Same
Uh huh. And, I will get on a Boeing plane too right after that door blew out.
Not compromising any encryption just to have all my messages in one third party app. I know how to search an app drawer for a message platform to talk to someone. It’s not difficult.
Apparently there’s a waitlist.
Does it support RCS?
Thanks to Apple’s games, RCS is a deal breaker for me currently. I use my phone for work a lot, and RCS breaks group text with iPhones. I have missed several messages from my staff with RCS turned on. As soon as I turn it off, all compatibly issues go away.
Is it a Samsung phone on TMobile by chance?
I’ve been saying while google places blame on apple for not adoring rcs . Rcs is still a buggy mess , I constantly have to turn it off , messages take forever to go through, erroneously says user is offline , I even had one co-worker with Samsung on att that just couldn’t get rcs messages at all rcs is nowhere near polished or feature rich as iMessage unfortunately.for all the copying Google and Samsung does from apple (abd and vice versa ) I wish they’d just one to one copy iMessage because rcs aint it …in its current state anyways
RCS can be used with iPhones. If you’re group messaging with iPhones with an Android phone, then it defaults to MMS.
In the Google Play listing it says it supports Android SMS and RCS.
