![]() In an interview, Migicovsky said that Beeper was contacted last summer by a security researcher, one who had a Python script proof-of-concept repository to prove his discovery. Powered by a teenager’s reverse-engineering discoveryĮric Migicovsky, co-founder of the all-in-one messaging service Beeper, says Beeper Mini (which should be available now) can do this because iMessage has been reverse-engineered. Even if I had no active Apple devices, it seems, I could have chosen to meet Apple users where they were and gain end-to-end encryption by doing so. We could all access the typing, delivered/read receipts, emoji reactions, and most other iPhone-to-iPhone message features. ![]() I never gave Beeper Mini my Apple ID.įrom then on, my iPhone-toting friends who sent messages to my Pixel 3 saw them as other-iPhone blue, not noticeably distracting green. I put my primary SIM card in the Pixel, I installed Beeper Mini, and it sent a text message to register my number with Apple. I didn't hand over my Apple credentials or log in with my Apple ID on a Mac server on some far-away rack. Sending an iMessage without an Apple device isn't entirely new, but this way of doing it is. In the past week, I have sent an iMessage to one friend from a command-line Python app and to another from a Pixel 3 Android phone.
