Beeper could eventually become the only chat app you’ll need.

    I have been using the new beeper. It’s life changing. Having all my conversations in just one app is actually making me talk to me friends more. It’s great!

    Fuck iMessage though. Don’t know why people give such a shit.

      I have been on the waitlist for almost 12 months. No messaging app is worth waiting that long.

        I don’t believe there’s a wait list anymore. You should be able to just download it from an app store for free. In the future, they’ll release a premium version that will require payment.

          You can install the app but it’ll tell you it’s not available for this account yet if you’re still in the waitlist.

            I have an invite link that may get you in faster. Let me know if you want it and I’ll send it to you in a direct message. I’ve already sent it to @UntitledQuitting@reddthat.com

              Would you mind sending it my way? I’d be curious to use it

              Do you happen to have one more invite?

          Might be different for iOS. I just checked and when I try and login to the app it says I’m #40k~ in line

            This app is not for iOS yet. Only the old cloud version I think

      Have you told your contacts, at least?
