Beeper is a dumb idea and a privacy nightmare. Don’t use a service like that, ever.
HOWEVER, Apple is also full of shit here. If they really cared about the security of their users, they would enable them to use encrypted RCS messages. Instead, they force them to use SMS when texting anyone without an iPhone. It’s an outdated and insecure protocol.
Beeper Mini is no less private than using iMessage on an iPhone.
It doesn’t even require an AppleID let alone require your credentials for one.
The cloud service that Apple didn’t block is the one that requires you to give your Apple credentials to a cloud bridge.
Beeper and Beeper Mini are two completely different things
Beeper Mini, the version that does not require any kind of MITM bridge, has been blocked by Apple. Beeper, the version that requires the bridge, still works fine AFAIK
Wholeheartedly agree with the second paragraph though 👍
Beeper mini is much more secure than beeper, they don’t even need your password
