Beeper continues to be scuffling with Apple’s makes an attempt to dam its Beeper Mini and Beeper Cloud providers that allow iMessage for Android telephones. The corporate beforehand went round Apple’s restrictions by eradicating telephone quantity assist from Beeper Mini and having customers sign up utilizing an Apple ID.

“Apple seems to be intentionally blocking iMessages from being delivered to ~5% of Beeper Mini customers,” the corporate mentioned.
Nevertheless, Beeper says uninstalling and reinstalling the Beeper Mini app fixes the difficulty. The platform can be engaged on a extra everlasting repair for the issue.
