Beeper

Apple appears to be deliberately blocking iMessages from being delivered to ~5% of Beeper Mini users. Uninstalling and reinstalling Beeper Mini fixes the issue.

At Apple, we build our products and services with industry-leading privacy and security technologies designed to give users control of their data and keep personal information safe. We took steps to protect our users by blocking techniques that exploit fake credentials in order to gain access to iMessage. These techniques posed significant risks to user security and privacy, including the potential for metadata exposure and enabling unwanted messages, spam, and phishing attacks. We will continue to make updates in the future to protect our users.

There are reports on the pypush discord server that it is all but confirmed that Apple has changed something on the iMessage servers to block Beeper Mini users

Can anyone suggest a solution to this. I contacted beeper on the email address given in the App Store listing but have had no response or even acknowledgement.

I can log in using my Google Account, have subscribed and have given permissions but when it comes to the phone registration stage I always get the error “Something went wrong please check your network settings or try again later”

What I’ve done to troubleshoot.

Checked network settings Checked for update Cleared cache and storage Uninstalled and re-installed Tried a different phone Tried SIMs from different providers (Vodafone, O2, Lebara)

I’m seeing other reports of this in the UK and Ireland , so suspect it’s just poor code. But does anyone have any more ideas?

Beeper has announced they are pivoting from being a company that hosts your messages and bridges to instead delivering an app that will directly connect to each of your messaging services, similar to how Texts.com works. The new app is currently only available for Android, with other platforms coming later.

What are your thoughts on this pivot?

even with RCS coming to iPhone, you still need Beeper
