The latest endeavor of the chat app Beeper Mini, which allows users to send messages from Android to iMessage on iPhone, has brought forth a new twist. Utilizing a clever engineering technique, Beeper managed to create a blue message box, reminiscent of iMessage. However, this time around, the plot thickens.
To begin with, let’s review Beeper’s previous efforts. After successfully employing a reverse engineering method to send direct messages to iMessage, Apple promptly blocked their approach. Undeterred, Beeper found a solution by utilizing Apple ID login to bypass the block. However, Apple managed to block this alternative method by examining the registration data on the Beeper Mac server, prompting Beeper to devise a new process that requires device registration through a Mac, ensuring differing registration data.
Now, Beeper presents yet another method – utilizing older iPhones (6/6s/SE1/7/8/X) and jailbreaking them, connecting them to either a Mac or Linux. This allows users to install Beeper’s tool, which assists in registering iMessage. Once complete, the iPhone can be left charging and connected to Wi-Fi, enabling the use of Beeper Mini to send iMessage from an Android device.
Beeper suggests that older iPhones can be purchased at a relatively low cost or even rented, with the preloaded Beeper app already installed.
TLDR: Beeper Mini has introduced a complex new process that allows users to send Android messages to iMessage on an iPhone, involving a combination of reverse engineering, Apple ID login, and device registration through a Mac. Alternatively, older iPhones can be jailbroken and connected to a Mac or Linux to achieve the same result.
