Beeper

Beeper, a universal chat app first introduced in 2021, finally leaves beta testing and goes public on April 9th. This is shortly after Automattic, the company behind WordPress, has acquired Beeper. “Given the state of the messaging world, we’ve long felt the need for a strong ally with the resources to support us on our quest,” said Beeper CEO Eric Migicovsky in a blog post. In this acquisition, the entire Beeper team migrates over to Automattic but will operate independenly. Last year, Beeper introduced iMessage integration through Beeper Mini. However, it was short-lived as Apple blocked Beeper’s methods of enabling iMessage service into Beeper. The new Beeper connects up to 14 other chat platforms accessible in both mobile and web. Beeper is available for download via Google Play Store. Read more in our articles including "Beeper now officially available for everyone" and "vivo S50 series unveiled".
