- The all-in-one messaging app, Beeper, is getting new security features that enhance chat encryption.
- It also adds new paid “Plus” and “Plus Plus” tiers with features such as message scheduling, incognito mode, and multiple accounts for the same apps.
- However, there’s still no mention of iMessage support, which was abandoned in late 2023 after Apple repeatedly shot down Beeper’s efforts.
If you juggle multiple messaging apps and have ever tried to search for a solution to consolidate them, you might have stumbled upon Beeper. It is also known as the app that attempted to break through Apple’s walled garden, allowing non-Apple users to send blue-bubble texts from an Android device. Although Beeper failed to achieve a permanent solution to the Apple problem, it has handled the consolidation part well and is now building upon it to bring better security to chats, along with some premium features.
Beeper recently announced it was overhauling the tech stack for more secure chats. While it previously relayed messages from multiple apps through an online interface called Beeper Cloud, the new app now connects directly to individual messaging apps. In essence, that allows messages protected with end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for all messaging platforms that inherently support it.
