Sunbird's and Beeper's iMessage solution is a bandaid with a short shelf life. Apple's future plans make theses businesses unsustainable.

No need to ban what will, by default, become an unsustainable business model.

    I prefer Beeper because I don’t need multiple other chat apps installed and grabbing my data.

    Yes, you have to trust Beeper.

    I personally found it when I was forced to use WhatsApp with my landlord, and refuse to install any meta apps on my phone. I’ve since linked Telegram and Discord.

    Not to mention many of those apps require permissions to work, but I can easily deny them on Beeper and Beeper doesn’t care.
