Although there are Android users who are always putting iOS for their notification system, Siri’s aggravating weaknesses, and for other problems, one thing that is off limits for discussion is the iOS application iMessage. Even those who have upgraded to Google’s Rich Communication Service (RCS) -based messaging platform still prefer Apple’s messaging system. According to AndroidPolice, a new app launched today called Beeper can make that happen. It is not a simplified process as you will see. But it does offer iMessage features for Android users and, at the same time, creates a unified inbox that covers a range of messaging applications.
For example, Beeper will create an inbox with all unread messages from applications like:
- Facebook Messenger
- iMessage
- Android messaging (SMS)
- Telegram
- Day off
- Hangouts
- Skype
- IRC
- Matrix
- Discord
- Signal
- Beeper Network
All messages look the same, as the idea is to use a single interface for all your chats. And yes, Virginia, Beeper says he can connect with Apple’s iMessage even if you’re using an Android phone. But for that to happen, you need to use a Apple device as a bridge. This can be done using one of the two options. One method requires that you keep your Mac active and continuously connected to the Internet. Using the Beeper app for Mac, your Android phone can be connected to iMessage. With the other method, Beeper will send you a jailbreak iPhone 4s with the Beeper app installed to connect you with the iMessage app. “This is not a joke,” says Beeper’s website.
Beeper allows you to keep messages from different messaging platforms in one box
Using Beeper will cost $ 10 a month and with the last update received by the iPhone 4s taking place 17 months ago, you must ask yourself how secure your iMessages will be. If you’re trying to find out how Beeper made iMessage work on Android and Windows, here’s the answer:
“It was hard to find out! Beeper has two ways to allow Android, Windows and Linux users to use iMessage: we send each user an unlocked iPhone with the Beeper app installed that bridges iMessage, or if they have a Mac which is always connected to the internet, they can install the Beeper Mac application that works like a bridge. This is not a joke, it really works! “
