Was it too good to be true? Beeper, the startup that reverse-engineered iMessage to bring blue bubble texts to Android users, is experiencing an outage,
With the original Beeper app you made an Apple ID through Apples website to use for setting up iMessage. This does require folks having the email in order to use iMessage, so definetly worth setting up an alias. It still works, while Beeper Mini doesn’t apparently.
Their Matrix bridge is open source, and (at least they claim) everything is E2E encrypted. I love Beeper, and as unstable of a service as it is, it’s still really great and I fully trust it with my messages. Waited 2 years for this service and I’m gonna use it lol.

Yes and allowing beeper to MaInTheMiddle your messages does not present any security issues at all.

It is end to bridge encrypted. I trust them too but I still prefer to self-host this stuff.

not really. an E2E encrypted message is decrypted on their server, and then reencrypted before they sent it to the recipient.
