UPDATE: Beeper, through their Twitter account, is saying that they’re working on it and “hope to have good news to share soon”:
Work continues to fix the issue causing the Beeper Mini outage. We know how hard this has been for those who loved using Beeper Mini, and we’re extremely sorry for the inconvenience. We are feeling good, though, and hope to have good news to share soon.
Yeah I’m not buying apple for myself that’s for sure
So is it working again, or no? It seems to be on again, off again, on again at the end of the article. I think I’ll just wait until they either figure it out for good, or get permanently banned. I can’t have text messages going to a black hole right now.
according to https://nitter.net/onbeeper/status/1733385534545052129 it’s only Beeper Cloud they’re talking about in the update, they’re saying “work continues on Beeper Mini” meaning it’s likely not operational yet and users in that thread seem to confirm it
A) Apple stop being scummy
B) USA gets a grip on this bubble colour nonsense and stops using iMessage
Which comes first?
It’s not about the bubble color, it’s about not being able to use modern messaging features cross-platform.
The two things go hand in hand, though.
Degraded messaging gets branded with green bubbles. Green bubbles - i.e. non-Apple phones - get associated with degraded messaging. Non-Apple phones get pidgeon-holed as crappy phones for messaging. People get bullied into buying iPhones.
Capitalism at its finest.
