It appears that Beeper Mini, a chat app that engineers backwards compatibility for iMessage on Android, has overcome the access blockage of this app instantly due to security reasons. However, the latest announcement by Beeper Mini states that the problem has been resolved and users can once again use iMessage as before.
Nevertheless, this time the usage of iMessage has changed. Beeper Mini users now need to log in with their Apple ID to use it as a messaging platform, instead of relying solely on their phone numbers. Eric Migicovsky, the founder of Beeper, mentioned that they have once again utilized the same engineering method to directly connect with iMessage, without the need for a Mac server as an intermediary. The phone number login issue is currently being addressed.
Beeper also announced that due to the uncertain usage situation, they have decided to offer it for free instead of the original plan to charge $1.99 per month, while opening the option for users to donate instead, if they are willing to assist.
Let’s wait and see how long this time will last.
TL;DR: Beeper Mini has resolved the issue and users can use iMessage on Android by logging in with their Apple ID. The usage has changed, and Beeper is now offering the service for free with the option for users to donate. The founder utilized the same engineering method to connect with iMessage directly.
