Personally I don’t care about this since apple is adopting rcs next year. But its a great thing for people who want iMessage.

    I’m confused about this article because I have Beeper, but they make this statement:

    “Beeper Mini is a new app from the folks behind Beeper, a unified chatting and inbox app that brings together the best chat apps under one roof.”

    I haven’t heard about a mini version.

      Its a new version they called Mini because it only supports iMessage natively. There is a research who reverse engineered how iMessage works that’s how they manage to make it work without an Apple account and just your phone number.

        Sounds like it’s something Apple could easily kill by changing something in the protocol that would require it to be re-reverse engineered.

          I’m not entirely sure if iMessage still works right now for phones that ran out of support, but such a change would kill it for those phones too.
