For some people, the colour of your chat bubbles really matters – and on iOS and Mac, green means that you are Not One Of Us, because blue bubbles are reserved for Apple to Apple chats. A new app called Beeper changes that by enabling you to use iMessage on Android and appear to others as a blue bubble user.
It's not just about the bubble, of course. It's about the ability to use the platform of your choice to chat, and at the moment Apple limits its iMessage service to the Messages app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Beeper has found a clever way to get around that, delivering what's effectively Messages for Android.
