Bug fixes and other improvements We've created an updated version of Beeper Mini that fixes an issue that caused messages not to be sent or received. You can get the update directly from beeper.com/update on your phone. We are still doing some final testing before submitting the update to the Google Play Store for distribution to all users.

We’ve created an updated version of Beeper Mini that fixes an issue that caused messages not to be sent or received. We even added in a few new feature improvements: chats now open at the last unread message, and we polished the video player a bit!

    IDC about the colors, but being able to respond to individual messages within a conversation, being able to edit, and seeing which images a friend responded to is a nice to have. Android does all this stuff too, but until this Beeper app, neither phone OS played nice with the other. So that’s why it’s nice to have over regular SMS. As for regular email for an ongoing group conversation between friends? What is this, 1999? :P Email is not a good format for instant messaging like text messages are.

      Hmm ok. Yeah I’m used to IRC for group chats and I thought there were some hipster counterparts like Matrix that I hadn’t tried. I didn’t realize iMessage wasn’t just SMS with blue bubbles. I still don’t understand what it has vs the bazillion other chat apps out there but I guess it’s a Steve Jobs thing. Thanks.
