iMessage apps for Android have become more popular lately, but usually with vague security settings. However, the Beeper Mini took a wild and completely new approach in completely reverse-engineering iMessage to allow users to log into their Apple ID directly as well as link their Android phone number. In fact, the company has figured out how to let you link just your phone number and skip the Apple ID altogether. It worked well too.
But the big question was how long the app would actually work.
