Apple only allows sending iMessages on its own devices, such as iPhone and iPad. Therefore, when an iPhone user exchanges a text message with another Apple device user, a blue speech bubble appears, and when a conversation occurs with an Android user, a green speech bubble appears.
Beeper Mini allows Android users to send these blue speech bubbles and is known to improve issues such as poor photo quality and transmission errors that occurred when sending messages between iPhone and Android smartphones. You can also use all the other iMessage features, like emoticons and typing effects.
Beeper stated, “Every time Beeper Mini goes down due to Apple’s interference, Beeper’s credibility suffers” and that operating in a manner that continues to evade Apple’s sanctions is “unsustainable.”
“We believe (Beeper) is a fantastic product that deserves to exist and we want to fight for it, but the reality is we can’t win the cat-and-mouse game with the biggest company on the planet,” he said. “The best chat on the planet.” He announced that he would focus on the “long-term goal of creating an app”.
