Personally I don't care about this since apple is adopting rcs next year. But its a great thing for people who want iMessage.

No, its a new app! They built specifically for iMessage only. Learn more here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/introducing-beeper-mini-get-blue

    Interesting. I just checked and found the information. It sounds like they want to rebuild the whole app and just add one service at a time. They are starting with just iMessage.

    Edit: I wonder how long this will last. They aren't using a Mac to log you into your iCloud account with this. They have found a workaround.

    "This is now possible because the iMessage protocol and encryption have been reverse engineered by jjtech, a security researcher."

    Edit 2: I'm really curious about this. The researcher has some Python that can run anywhere and let you send iMessages. It seems like something the Apple would shutdown, but, on the other hand, I wouldn't expect Beeper to introduce an app that might get disabled.
