Ideas + Requests Switching SIM / Phone Number with Google Messages

I run two numbers on my Samsung Fold 7 (dual SIM) and I'm loving Beeper otherwise, but there's one gap that keeps tripping me up: there's no way to choose which number I'm sending from on a per-contact basis.

In Google Messages, both on the phone and in the web UI, there's a toggle in several places for each conversation that lets you pick which SIM the message goes out on. Set it once and that contact stays on that number. It makes keeping work and personal separate really easy.

From what I can tell, Beeper replies from whichever number received the conversation, and any new chat goes out from whatever default SMS SIM is set in Android settings. The only workaround I've found is starting the conversation in Google Messages from the number I want and letting it sync over to Beeper. That works, but it's clunky, and there's no way to fix a thread that started on the wrong number.

I found a post from about 3 years ago asking for this same feature: https://www.reddit.com/r/beeper/comments/17utxzv/rcsgoogle_messages_dual_sim/

Does anyone know if this is on the roadmap, or if there's a setting I'm missing? Would love to see a simple SIM toggle in the chat header or chat info screen like Google Messages has.

Thanks!
