Welp, apple already shut it down apparently haha. I'm going to hold out that they can fix it but who knows
the Beeper team has already said it's back up internally and they are about to release and update with a write up. This will probably make me go back to BlueBubbles though, I just want to support Beeper.

When should we expect the update because earlier it worked with my sister but my dad and kid couldn't communicate with me through using it. I had to delete it so I could text with my kid again.

I wouldn't bank on this ever really working. It's a cat and mouse game and that's not sustainable. Apple is huge on security, this goes against everything they stand for. There were already security concerns, messages going to the wrong numbers, 3rd persons being interjected randomly into messaging threads.

Apple is one of the most cash rich companies on the planet and decided long ago not to make iMessage for Android and dominate the messaging space. This will not last. They can play whack a mole with this app longer than Beeper can stand being whacked. And if they get really annoying they'll bring in the army of high priced lawyers and Beeper will beg for mercy. Enjoy the blue bubbles while you can.

When I first setup my BlueBubbles server I told my family members who refused to download any other app that I was only communicating via e2e encryption from that point on. I have an automatic rule for SMS that does not deliver my message to me and sends a message to anyone that sends me an SMS that basically says "This person has turned off SMS communication due to it's unencrypted nature, they will not receive your message, please use e2e encryption to communicate with this user if you need to get a hold of them"
For the 3-4 of them that refuse to download anything else, if for some reason my "Blue Bubbles" ever went away (it shouldn't I have my own Mac Mini doing something Beeper will never be able to do, and it's a lot more "legit" than Beeper, but I digress), they will have to call me I guess, because I'm not turning off my rule because they are too lazy to contact me in a more secure way.

Even before e2e encryption was a big thing, I always insisted to say... my Mom, to send me things on Facebook because of the horrible quality of Videos and Photos. It's just become a common practice. RCS will fix a lot of the quality issues, but it won't fix the e2ee, so I will leave the rule up for non-e2ee RCS early next year when it's added to iMessage as well.
Had Apple actually cared about their users security they would have used the e2ee RCS, but they obviously don't really care that much.
