The Beeper developer team is not giving up its mission to keep iMessage working on Android. It has a new solution that will roll out to Beeper Mini and Cloud users on December 20. This solution is more so a workaround that requires users to own a Mac or have a friend with a Mac who can lend them registration data. The team believes this is a reliable solution, but we will know for sure in the coming days.

Beeper Mini is a new Android app which brought Apple's iMessage to Android. But the app has gone down once again. It looks like Apple is persistent with its efforts to stop iMessage from working on Android. About 5% of users are experiencing the bug, reportedly caused by Apple's continued efforts. On X (formerly Twitter), Beeper has suggested uninstalling & reinstalling the application to fix the issue while it works on a solution.
Beeper Mini is a trending app that emulates iMessage for Android. It allows for seamless communication from Android to Apple devices and is touted to feature 'end to end encryption'. However, Apple broke the app recently and essentially shut it down - and despite this, the developers of Beeper Mini have brought it back alive! After all, the dream of blue bubbles & green bubbles staying friends could come true.
Apple has shut down Beeper Mini, the app that brought iMessage functionality to Android. However, whatever techniques that Beeper was using on their app, have now been patched by Apple. While Beeper developers seem to continue working on bringing back the iMessage functionality to their Android app, it does not seem likely for Beeper Mini to start working again.
Beeper Mini utilizes research from reverse-engineering the iMessage protocol. With this, iMessage for Android is easy to start using - simply download the Beeper Mini app and get started. Moreover, the Beeper developers are being quite forthcoming with how their technology works. No servers, or middlemen are required, to make iMessage for Android possible. Beeper Mini is available on Play Store right now, however it is a paid app. It costs $1.99 per month to use, with a free 7 day trial.
