Last week we heard about a brand new way for Android users to access Apple’s iMessage, in the form of the Beeper Mini app. Then Apple promptly shut down the loophole Beeper Mini was using, rendering the app more or less useless. Beeper Mini promised that the service would be back, though we didn’t expect it to happen quite so quickly.
Previously Beeper Mini was tricking iMessage into thinking Android users were actually on an Apple device, spoofing legitimate Apple hardware keys to gain access. This was tied to your phone number, registering it with Apple servers (without Apple’s permission) and didn’t require an Apple ID. The new version is the opposite of this.
