I use beeper to have all my non free messaging apps on my phone then I don't have to worry about the spying as much. But that might not work for you.
OK, now that is very cool. It's like Pidgin for 2023 and phones. I may well give that a try! May solve the messaging bit.
If you need a code to get in let me know I still have some, I can't remember if they did away with their cue and just let people join now.
They still have a queue, I just joined the waiting list.
Thanks for the discovery!
It looks like another closed app "build on open source". Not sure it's much more trust worthy than WhatsApp anyway. Need to read up. I wonder if I'm better of exploring open alteratives also set up my own Matrix bridges that Beeper is built on anyway. Though I've not heard good things about maintaining Matrix bridges.
I hope the EU get through the forced interoperability of chat apps......
I only use beeper as a convenience tool for getting matrix bridges for All the chats I don't care about. I have signal and normal Matrix separate from Beeper.
