Beeper Mini is the iMessage for Android app we’ve been waiting for
www.androidauthority.com
Beeper Mini is a new app that brings iMessage to Android. When you text your friends with iPhones, you'll show up as a blue bubble.

Personally I don’t care about this since apple is adopting rcs next year. But its a great thing for people who want iMessage.

    But why the obsession with iMessage and apple product?!? Cannot every people at least send a SMS to others and that’s it? We don’t care about the colour of the bubble!!!

      Upset about getting curved by the only Tinder match they’d had in months after she saw their green bubble

      It’s not about the color, sms is an ancient and limited piece of tech

      It basically copies the best of every other messaging platform. I was at my in-laws where everyone on my wife’s side has an iPhone and we’re talking about a LOT of the features.

      • can tell if notifications are turned off on phone
      • read receipts
      • higher quality limit on video/pictures sent
      • messaging that can be done in wifi-only areas (imagine having a few group threads/people you CANT talk to while at home because you live in a dead zone)

      Any other big feature of any other messaging app I was able to think of (Signal/Whatsapp, discord, slack) is all there (except public chatrooms and private servers obvs), WITH OS integration

      I still like my pixel, but I get it now.

      Still holding out hope that Google allows for RCS features to come to Google voice.

        Yeah, I’m using Google RCS Message too, let’s hope Apple will integrate all the RCS features too

      People care about the color of the bubble, even if you don’t. A LOT of place’s don’t regularly use SMS.
