Beeper brings together iMessage, WhatsApp and other chat apps in one app

Beeper – Unified Messenger lets you manage all your favorite chat apps in one place. Whether you want to send messages via WhatsApp, iMessage, Telegram, Signal, Slack or other platforms, Beeper brings them together in one app. android world explains how the app works.

What is Beeper?

Beeper uses a smart technology that makes it possible to connect different chat apps. You can manage all your contacts and conversations from a single app, no matter what platform they use. So you can think of it as a central hub where you can easily switch between your favorite chat apps without having to open them all individually. Beeper also makes it possible to use iMessage on Android, Windows and Linux.

These are the platforms that Beeper supports:

• iMessages
• Android Messages (SMS)
• WhatsApp
• Telegram
• Signal
• Facebook Messenger
• Instagram DM
• Twitter DM
• Slack
• Discord
• LinkedIn
• Google Chat
• IRC
• Matrix

You can also receive notifications from all your chat apps in Beeper and use advanced search options to quickly find specific messages or conversations. You can also set custom filters to further organize your chats. It is important to turn off notifications from other apps or you will get duplicate notifications. WhatsApp and Signal will remain on your phone. If you delete them, they are no longer connected to Beeper.

What Beeper does resembles the Digital Markets Act (DMA) of the European Union. As a result of this legislation, it will soon be possible to use WhatsApp to send a message to a user on iMessage and from iMessage to Telegram. It should give smaller players the chance to reach a larger audience with their messaging app.

What does Beeper cost?

Previously, you had to subscribe to Beeper, which cost you $10 a month. The app was also mainly intended for so-called Pro users, but Beeper now shifted its focus to a larger target group in March of this year by offering it for free.

A paid plan will be launched later this year that includes additional features such as larger chat history backup, access to multiple network connections, and more. That subscription will be called Beeper Plus.

Who is Beeper for?

According to the makers, Beeper is intended for:

• People who want to check out one chat app instead of 5+ different chat apps
• Android and Windows users who want full iMessage functionality (blue bubbles and more!)
• People who want to use features that Beeper offers beyond the capabilities of other chat apps, such as automatically archiving chats after you read them, scheduling future messages to be sent, and being able to search your entire chat history across all networks

According to the makers, Beeper works well alongside existing apps, but does not replace them completely. So you may sometimes have to go to the original app. For example, Beeper cannot create new group chats. Slack and Discord power users will also encounter shortcomings with Beeper. Beeper is currently focused on DMs, group chats, and small channels. There is no support for super-busy communities of more than 1000 people. Beeper works fine if you use Slack or Discord to chat with friends or colleagues.

Beeper can be a powerful tool to receive all your messages from other chat apps from one app. We do have our reservations about the various communication protocols that have been merged. Apple is not known for developing an open standard to make iMessage accessible on other platforms. How long will Apple allow Beeper to retrieve the iMessages? For now we will work with Beeper to see if it works as the makers promise.
