Beeper Mini is back (sort of, for now)
Beeper Mini launched last week to much fanfare, as it allowed Android users to use their actual phone numbers to send texts as iMessages to their iPhone counterparts, instead of an Apple ID email address as other solutions have offered in the past. However, this victory was short-lived as Apple effectively blocked the app three days later and issued a response citing significant risks to iPhone users‘ security and privacy.
The Beeper team, however, did not sit on its laurels and worked over the weekend to identify the issue and work on a solution. Within 24 hours, they fixed the problem for the Beeper Cloud version, followed by a fix for Beeper Mini today. During the outage, Beeper also took steps to deregister phone numbers associated with the app.
