Beeper Disables New iMessage Connections, Removes App from Google Play Store
Existing users may still access iMessage on Beeper Cloud, while the iMessage bridge becomes open source.
- Beeper has announced the removal of the Beeper Mini app from the Google Play Store and the relocation of the iMessage bridge to the 'Labs' section of its cloud version.
- No new users will be able to use Beeper Cloud to gain entry into Apple’s messaging service.
- Beeper made the iMessage bridge, which cost $750,000 to build, open source.
- After Apple blocked Beeper’s iMessage for Android app, Beeper used Macs to enable Beeper Cloud and connect to iMessage.
- Several Beeper customers lost access to Apple’s messaging service on their Macs, but some regained access after being blocked.
