Good news for Android users who wish to chat with their iPhone user friends. A new app named Beeper Mini has been launched With Beeper Mini, you can chat with your friends on iMessage from your Android device. But days after its release, users found Beeper Mini not working and that they could no longer send and receive messages.
Beeper Mini was launched to bridge the iMessage-Android gap. The fun part is that the Android messages will be seen in blue instead of in the green speech bubble.
Beeper Mini directly connects to Apple’s servers with the communications also end-to-end encrypted. Beeper does not need to have access to a user’s Apple account.

The Beeper Team is currently working round the clock to solve the error and a fix is “very close.” He further added that they will post on Twitter when the issue is fixed.
Beeper Mini Not Working Possible Reason
On being asked if Apple has cut off Beeper Mini’s ability to function. Migicovsky did suggest that Apple may have blocked Beeper’s access. He said that all the data indicates the same.
He further added that If it’s Apple, then the biggest question is if Apple truly cares about the privacy and security of their own iPhone users. Also, why would they try to kill a service that enables iPhones to send encrypted chats to Android users?
Due to the outage, the seven-day free trial period for Beeper Mini is being extended to an additional week. As soon as the fix rolls out, users’ seven-day free trials will also be reset.
