Beeper Mini brings native iMessage to Android
iMessage for Android. Even in this new reality where Apple intends to adopt RCS, it’s still something that people want...
Hopefully this becomes the app that ends this nonsensical "blue bubble" supremacy by iSheep.
At the cost of full unencrypted access to everything you say or share…

iSheep? What is this, 2011?
Oh, the whole sheep argument is silly. iMessage is better than RCS, and I don't blame any Apple user for wanting to stay within iMessage if possible. It's not Apple's fault that Google took forever to get their act together in the messaging space.
Oh FFS. Anyone who cares about the blue bubble (and this goes for both senders and receivers) is an idiot, and not someone I'm interested in texting...
The issue isnt really the color, it's that all images and video are degraded in quality. That means android users are excluded from iphone group chats. This is a bug deal in America where iphones are incredibly popular.
I think it's fair to be excited that people are working on ways to bridge the divide. Especially when the technical aspects of the reverse engineering is pretty cool. Not to mention the proof of concept was originally made by a high school student!
So far I am very impressed with beeper. I cant find anything that does not work well.
Using something like this compromises e2e encryption for you and anyone that you talk to. It’s actively inviting a man-in-the-middle into all of your chats.
It’s a shitty thing to do to your friends.
Just use Signal if you care about the green bubble stuff.
Or just buy an iPhone if that kind of thing matters to you
