I’m super into the idea of Beeper, but at the end of the day to get that level of interoperability you are trusting a third party with your login credentials to some very sensitive services that may also be tied to your financials (ie Apple ID). They state that it’s only saved once, and then encrypted so that they no longer have access, but still it’s a risk.

So far I’m not convinced it’s worth the trade off even though I really want it to be. Curious what others think?

There’s cavets though

First, there’s a waiting list to use it. Some people waited a year to get on.

Second, the encryption isn’t e2e when a different service is involved, they act as a middleman.

Third, for imessage in specific, you either give them your credentials or need your own device to act as the bridge.

Beeper is looking pretty awesome. It (and things like BlueBubbles) are allowing me to switch to android, and I love it. Can’t wait for my new phone to arrive!
