iMessage is one of Apple’s signature apps. Although the user volume is not huge (unlike other options like WhatsApp), many Android users wanted to look for options to communicate with their iPhone friends, and so we saw several applications come through that allow it to be used. on other devices.

Just a few weeks ago we informed you about the Nothing alternative, but if you want more, the Beeper Mini has been released. An option for native support for iMessage for Android. How does it work? We tell you below:

Will a new App to use iMessage on Android work?

New technological reality shows Apple moving towards RCSBut due to the popularity of iMessage, the demand for iMessage for Android is still high. Despite low expectations that Apple would implement it, Beeper is introducing “Beeper Mini,” an app that a “native” experience similar to the iMessage experience on the iPhone but on Android.

Beeper was launched in 2021 with the idea of ​​combining different messaging applications. only one.

This technique led to differences of opinion due to trust and security issues.

A good option to play iMessage on Android.

The company now unveils ‘Beeper Mini’ with a revamped approach to accessing iMessage. Through reverse engineering, the app connects directly to Apple’s service without the need to use a remote Mac or Beeper servers. This means that messages are delivered directly from the user’s device to Apple, without the intervention of external servers.

Curiously, Beeper Mini also works without using an Apple IDhowever, this limits compatibility with a variety of devices. Without an Apple ID, messages cannot be accessed on Beeper or other devices using Apple devices. But signing in with an Apple ID allows you to send and receive messages through other Apple devices and provides privacy through encrypted HTTPS requests to Apple servers.

Moreover, Beeper Mini allows user’s phone number to be used for iMessage, a feature not available in other similar applications. This causes messages sent to iPhone users to appear as “blue bubbles.”

Finally, Beeper Mini distinguishes itself from its predecessor with a refreshed design that combines elements of Google Messages and iMessageIt a visually integrated and fluid experience.

The real question is whether this will actually work. Just a few days ago we mentioned that the Nothing app failed because it violated user privacy. Now we will see news about Beeper, hoping that it will be a good alternative for users.
