Apple once again blocks the app 'Beeper Mini' that allows you to use iMessage on Android, making it unavailable to some users



It has been revealed that Apple is once again blocking the app ' Beeper Mini ,' which allows users to use iMessage, which is not normally available on Android. It is said that about 5% of Beeper Mini users are affected, so it does not seem to be a complete block.



According to a post on Beeper Mini's official X (formerly Twitter) account, about 5% of Beeper Mini users have iMessage blocked by Apple. It is said that the problem will be resolved by uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but Beeper Mini seems to be working on solving the fundamental problem.

When Beeper Mini was released in early December 2023 , it quickly became a huge hit with over 100,000 downloads in two days. However, three days after its release, Apple implemented a countermeasure that made it impossible to send and receive messages, and it was restored with an update over the weekend.
