Days after Mashable's Kimberly Gedeon reported that the app Beeper Mini was here to let Android users text with blue "iMessage" bubbles,video sex public sex creampie Apple appears to have shut down the app.
Typically, you need an Apple device and Apple ID to use iMessage. However, as Gedeon stated, Beeper Mini developers figured out how to associate a phone number with iMessage to connect with Apple servers in order to send and receive messages as if the Android phone were an iPhone.

In a statement to The Verge, Apple senior PR manager Nadine Haija told the outlet:
At Apple, we build our products and services with industry-leading privacy and security technologies designed to give users control of their data and keep personal information safe. We took steps to protect our users by blocking techniques that exploit fake credentials in order to gain access to iMessage. These techniques posed significant risks to user security and privacy, including the potential for metadata exposure and enabling unwanted messages, spam, and phishing attacks. We will continue to make updates in the future to protect our users.
Beeper founder Eric Migicovsky then told The Verge: "if Apple truly cares about the privacy and security of their own iPhone users, why would they stop a service that enables their own users to now send encrypted messages to Android users, rather than using unsecure SMS?"
SMS messages, which is how Android and Apple users communicate, are unencrypted. Beeper shared this quote on its X account, reiterating the claim that the app increases security:
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
On Sunday, Beeper posted another statement on X, stating that it's working to get the app up and running again. "Work continues to fix the issue causing the Beeper Mini outage," the post reads. "We know how hard this has been for those who loved using Beeper Mini, and we're extremely sorry for the inconvenience. We are feeling good, though, and hope to have good news to share soon."
