Beeper managed to reverse-engineer the iMessage protocol and released Beeper Mini for Android that lets you be a blue bubble from your Android phone. Will Apple find a way to block it by the end of 2023?

@PatrickTescher technically Beeper Mini is still (kinda, sorta) working but at this point, to follow the spirit of the market, I'll resolve this to YES.

Our fix for Beeper Mini is still in the works. It’s very close, and just a matter of a bit more time and effort.

predictedNO

Question: what happens if Apple DOES brick them, but they manage to come back before the end of December?

@quadruple yeah that's a tricky one I think the answer that keeps the spirit of this the best would be "NO"
