How do you mean? I'm actually kinda interested since I have friends on WhatsApp and Signal. Seems like it would make things more convenient by combining both messengers.

Is there a downside I'm missing?

Edit: they break E2E encryption for forwarding, so no dice :( https://www.beeper.com/faq#how-does-beeper-connect-to-encrypted-chat-networks-like-imessage-signal-whatsapp

    I don't see any downside, especially since it is mostly open source, so you can make your own server if you want. You'll get Element and Synapse rather than Beeper's fork, but it works well.
