Just a few days after it launched, Beeper Mini – the app that brings iMessage to Android – is reportedly being blocked by Apple.
As quickly as the Beeper Mini app brought iMessage to Android, Apple showed up to rain on its parade. On Friday, Beeper Mini users started reporting problems with the app. Beeper took to X to note that the team was investigating reports about problems sending and receiving messages. Apple apparently closed the loophole the app was taking advantage of, as users are now seeing error messages when they try to send texts.
Investigating reports that sending/receiving is not working in Beeper Mini ????— Beeper (@onbeeper) December 8, 2023
Apple obviously hasn’t taken credit for blocking Beeper Mini, but it’s the most likely explanation.
