I'm Using iMessage on a Chromebook!

[@djross95]

How long before Apple finds some way to shut this down? 3 seconds, 2, 1...

[@CED.Dweller]

Exactly what I was about to type...

[@Maxible]

Beeper as a service has existed since 2021 and it's been covered by TechCrunch, The Verge, Wired, etc and Apple hasn't touched it yet .... time will tell. 🤔

[@peterbreis5407]

That's Microsoft's schtick! Funny how you only find a problem with Apple having features and services that others don't. Apple is "inferior" so it must be easy for everyone else to just beat them.

[@Max86421]

Hopefully, Apple add RCS messaging to iPhones 💯

[@PsalmistScribe]

Possibly but they haven't shut down other alternatives, I personally use the blue bubble method and it still works. And I think that has been around for a couple of years

[@CF542]

The concept of Beeper is amazing and something we all could use in some way. The reality is that not only is the security aspect a big concern but how long before Apple, Facebook and others shut it down or tweak their code to kill it. Probably not long. Remember when Palm updated their phones to sync with iTunes?

[@ThomasTheTankEngine22]

I got my invite 3 weeks ago. It's a lot to set-up and has some bugs but man... it's pretty damn good. It even supports RCS

[@venturebrowser]

As an alternative, if you have an old Apple machine laying around, AirMessage is also a good solution. I switch back and forth from Android and iOS and enjoy AM as my SMS+iMessage all-in-one app while on Android. Thanks for the Beeper video though as another viable option!

[@GehrigFaust]

excited for the video! thanks guys

[@edisjd]

I guess once this is fully available. The people that are stuck on iPhone because of iMessage can finally leave for an Android phone

[@davebryantee]

beeper doesn't mainly exist in the US, it works everywhere

[@Vi.Maragathamani]

Hello sir, please please please help me on which one is good 👇 Buying a $400 Chromebook which which have Intel normal processor. Or Buying a old windows laptop which contains good processor like ryzen 5 and switch that with free Chrome OS. I think the second one gives more benefits because of the performance, premium display and the build quality and the backlit keyboard.

[@Vi.Maragathamani]

😢

[@Max86421]

Apple IPhones need to support RCS 💯

[@mljk27]

Thank you for showing. Still waiting for my invite. Signed up already.

[@andrewscott4712]

So, you still need an Apple device and not just an Apple account?

[@sigmitnavn]

Apple, likely to Call it a Security fault, and close the thing down. One Can then only wonder why Apple still allow the Old sms…you know…the security…instead of allow RCS where the massage is Secure the whole Way arround, but people when Apple doesnt want to support RCS, then they really really give a s… for security.

[@DanieleSparano]

Useless in Europe where everybody uses whatsapp, including iphone users

[@DanieleSparano]

@TheDevilsJoint How do you know?

[@DanieleSparano]

@TheDevilsJoint I bought it 2nd hand from you, remember?

[@iantiller-mohr9492]

Is there a self hosted solution to this problem?

[@PackFan2323]

This is great - I'd rather travel with my Chromebook than my MacBook. Signed up, awaiting approval.

[@King-4167]

What did you use to create your website??

[@HoWaiLoon]

May I know what is the tablet u using?

[@jdmInteriors]

Do you need to have certain specs to use beeper?

[@joshyfry93]

I don't use imessage but I have been waiting for a decent all in one solution to having multiple messaging apps. Is this a free service? What are they going to gain? Will they be selling data?

[@Teeqz5]

If that's the case, how do you get banned from using these message apps? I know most use bots but those sometimes have issues

[@jarrodjob]

If you're going to switch; friends still will be annoyed with you when you establish new threads w email based imessage

[@ThomasHoellriegl]

Those friends seem to be not friends at all. Use a messanger, that is not reduced to one company but open to all people.

[@macbaryum]

I'm so glad Jobs is down there.

[@stephaniellamas5003]

how do you get a referral code?

[@user-trospe]

Hi my friend! Love from Freece

[@SergioAlbertoRomero]

Isn't there a referral program? Can you send us invites lol

[@michaeldryer9225]

How do you get the invite?

[@MarvinOrieh]

Pretty cool

[@lillystatzer-w7m]

thank god i have a apple computer but i still love it

[@asan1050]

Thanks Much !.......

[@c0wqu3u31at3r]

everyone outside the US just uses Whatsapp instead

[@TotoFrancey]

I own a Pixel phone. I own an iPhone. Each phone has its own number but are on different networks. My iPhone friends use iPhones. My Pixel friends use Android. If an iPhone friend sends me a message on Android, I tell them to text my iPhone...and visa versa. The two worlds shall never meet.

[@CED.Dweller]

You love your friends and your tech!

[@PayneWewton]

Whack.

[@noachhayward5036]

😭😭😭😭

[@Seyram_yak]

I don't know what the entire iMessage craze is about. Apple really markets their products well than any other company... "Superior" mentality

[@RaphaelWiggum]

I think it's just a fad with teenagers.

[@Seyram_yak]

@@RaphaelWiggum Naa dude, it's everywhere

[@macemoneta]

@@Seyram_yak "Everywhere" being about half the US only. The rest of the world uses Android and Whatapp, mostly.

[@yeeyeeass]

It’s because it is superior. SMS is garbage in comparison. Plenty of Android phone manufacturers have their form of “iMessage”. The big difference is that iPhones are always made by Apple, which means every iPhone user has access to the same messaging app that can switch between that and SMS messaging with no effort. Android has a ton of great options for messaging, but the presence of choice means you have fragmentation. Also, WhatsApp is very popular across the world, but the US is different in that regard. We never adopted it to the extent of other nations.

[@slimdunkin117]

It’s basically like BBM (blackberry messenger) that was extremely popular.. It’s a native app on every iPhone, that can send and receive video files with very low compression..same with images..sms and mms will compress the crap outta videos

[@No_need_to_thank_me]

Too much yapping, play it on x2 speed.

[@palashchoudhury5565]

Mobile = 18:9 Tab (ChromeOS) = 3:2 (USB C & Headph jack) Use USB C 2 Lightning Cable in phone So that people cnt connect Stupid Computer Accessory

[@palashchoudhury5565]
