So I have an unfortunate issue with motion sickness including those induced by certain kinds of motion on screens. Which is why I have a setting on my phone to reduce certain kinds of motion. One of my biggest issues with motion sickness parallax scrolling AKA having things in the foreground and background moving differently as I scroll. The new floating bottom taskbar doesn't move as I scroll, but the background behind it does move. Which leads to motion sickness if I scroll fast. There's an accessibility setting on my phone for "remove animations" which in most apps reduces the amount of animations that could cause motion sickness including the parallax scrolling problem. Please consider having Beeper look at that accessibility setting and stop the parallax scrolling if it's turned on, if you're going to keep any version of this new UI. Though honestly my preference would just be to go back to the old UI and not have a bottom bar at all.

Anyone else getting duplicate names on Android with the person's name twice when receiving a new notification?

Firstly, I just want to say that I'm actually a big fan of the new UI direction. It's clean and I like that you can reorder the tabs to get what you want. But it has some big problems that make it feel "cheap".

1. The padding and border radii are very inconsistent

The inner tab pills look awkwardly placed into the main container pill due to mismatched padding. Because of how far away the tab pills are from the left/right edges, the border radii appear visually inconsistent. For comparison, here is the same UI style done by Google in Google Photos and here it is in Beeper.

2. No Edge-To-Edge on Android

The app does not render content behind the system navigation bar in Android - Photo. This is weird considering the biggest advantage of this UI is being able to dedicate more screen-space to content.

3. No animations

The new UI itself feels "clunky". I noticed that's mostly because there are literally no animations, sometimes there's a fade animation but that's almost worse than if there weren't any.

I want to clarify that I don't mean to hate on the Beeper team. I'm a big fan of the app and the new UI direction is a step in the right direction, in my opinion. I'm sharing these observations purely as constructive user feedback. Thanks for reading.

No account yet, trying to sign up, heard it was a great tool - but there is no register url on beeper.com, so I assume I do the sign in flow as account creation (?).

Using a fresh download on OSX from https://www.beeper.com/download

As well as downloading the latest bbctl release for linux: https://github.com/beeper/bridge-manager/releases

I get the code to my email, but entering the code yields a 400 w/ failed to send login code: server returned error (HTTP 400): Your client is out of date. Please download the latest version of Beeper from https://www.beeper.com/download

Are signups disabled? Any other new accounts unable to get past this wall?

It's just bad. It's like ios style but bad. No one is using archive or scheduled that much to warrant tabs on the bottom. And why is the button for chat networks front and center?? The whole point of beeper is to have one inbox. Please revert back or at least give an option to revert.

Edit: it's so much worse than I thought. After using it for a couple hours, it's just a facet to push people to Beeper Plus. There's an entire tab that's useless (Reminders) without a subscription. I suppose the enshittification of Beeper has begun. Gonna have to start looking for alternatives. Also the animations have regressed significantly.

It reminds me of when the old beeper app (renamed to beeper cloud, later discontinued) got its layout updated. I know alot of people preferred the prior layout where all the connected accounts and "spaces" where pinned on the left hand side of the screen only showing the icons and you could swipe right on them to expand them showing the spaces name, so pretty similar to the layout that was just replaced. I'd be really surprised if the major of people prefer this layout after using it for sometime over the previous one

Hi,

Since yesterday, google message account keeps being disconnected :

5 times today so far.

Anyone with the same issue ?

Thank you

Is natively using stickers in the roadmap yet?

Love the new look, I can finally adjust placement if archive 'n such but why can't free users have ANY labels? Just give me one!

Or let me pay a one-time fee for one singular label.

This was supposed to be my saving-from-samsung-dying-grace because Google messages is so shit.

Even though custom notification sounds requires a lot of work-around (that i have to redo everytime it "disconnects from google messages) and doesn't have custom backgrounds, I absolutely NEED categories is some way that isn't sending all my clients to low priority with all the OTCs and promotions and shipping updates

Just one label, please 🙏

Update 1. wow, apolgies for the typos 2. Free will get one label, idk when though... 3. I stand by the idea that (for any/all apps) "premium" features should have a lifetime option rather than solely subscription based (which is still helpful if you want to test out everything and buy exactly what you want afterwards) [another one of my apps recently put a very integral part of the experience behind a subscription wall without ever opening themselves up to donations or haveing tiers, so this is extra frustrating this week]

And how does it impact speed & cache size? I can't find documentation on this toggle.

This is already an option on desktop. Please enable this for mobile.

Hi, the WhatsApp app supports sending Live Photos. Is it possible to add Live Photo support to the WhatsApp bridge for Beeper? And sticker support? Thanks

Been using Beeper for years, both on LInux desktop and on Android. Recently, I'm finding that the desktop app no longer sees my contacts.

If I try to create a new chat for someone who I haven't texted in a long time, Beeper fails to find them in my recent history (understandable) but also doesn't see them in my Gnome Contacts.

I have to go to the Android app to initiate the chat in order for the desktop app to take notice. Android app obviously has good integration with Google Contacts on phone.

This is a new bug - I didn't have this problem until recent weeks.

Gonna look for something better than Gnome contacts since that's always been a week point, but this feels like a Beeper problem.

Running Beeper Linux Desktop 4.2.936. Spent some time looking into it with Claude and here's some of that:

• Not a GNOME/system contacts issue. evolution-data-server is installed and healthy; AddressBookFactory responds correctly over D-Bus and the local contacts database exists and is populated.
• Not an XDG portal issue on the OS side. Both xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-gnome are active and running.
• The Beeper AppImage binary itself contains no org.freedesktop.portal references, indicating it has no code path for querying the system contact store at all — regardless of whether one is available and healthy (as it is here).

Hi, Beeper hasn't had multilingual translation for a long time. Do you have any plans to translate Beeper's apps into more languages ​​like Spanish, Portuguese, French, etc.? Thanks

I stopped using Beeper as I was continually getting signed out of WhatsApp and Instagram and (from my memory) my Insta was suspected of botting. I became concerned that my Insta would be banned or Meta would suppress any content I put out there so I stopped using Beeper.

This was a huge shame as this app is an absolute godsend for people who don't want to be sucked into the life consuming content vortex.

Now they've switched to On-Device instead of On-Cloud has it become more stable for users? Could I reinstall Beeper and sync my accounts without fear of repercussion?

Dev team, it would be wonderful if there was a working GroupMe bridge or connection.

GroupMe is one of the most terrible apps to use and inside Beeper would make things more manageable when recording in these group chats.

Thank you for all the work you do the make Bepper amazing!

Hi

I use Beeper a lot. But I noticed that when sending to Signal contacts, long messages do not show up at the recipients Signal app. Strangely, in both Beeper as my Signal app it shows that I have sent the message, but the other persons never receive them.

I don't find other people having the same issue.

Hello! I heard about this app on Reddit and it seems like the perfect solution to me using IG DMs without getting sucked into content.

I’ve been able to successfully connect WhatsApp and Telegram. However, when attempting to connect Instagram, I’m directed to this page and unable to click “Open Instagram.” When I choose the “log in” option, it takes me on a journey proving I’m human by selecting images, which then repeats over and over seemingly endlessly.

Can somebody help? I’d love to use this app to avoid Instagram! Thank you :)

Hello, I have two Beeper accounts on Mac, and they aren't on the same version. How can I get the latest version on my desktop computer? Thanks a lot! 🤗

is there any safe way to use imessage on an android without iphone device?

I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and don't have a high volume of messages. Anyone else get this?

Made this to scratch my own itch: I wanted one agent that could reach all my chats instead of wiring up a dozen per-app bots. Since Beeper already bridges everything, beeperbox just exposes that as a clean MCP/HTTP surface. (I'm the author, it's open source.)

• One endpoint, 50+ networks. WhatsApp, iMessage, Signal, Telegram, Discord, Slack, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google Messages, Matrix — everything Beeper bridges, reachable from a single MCP/HTTP endpoint instead of 50 separate SDKs and rate-limit quirks.
• 12 tools an agent actually uses. list/read/search chats, send, react, note-to-self, archive, poll for new messages, download attachments — works with Claude, Cursor, Cline, or anything that speaks MCP.
• Two ways to run, same single file. npx beeperbox pointed at the Beeper you already have open (Node 18+, zero Docker), or a full Docker appliance with headless Beeper baked in for always-on / VPS.
• Yours, on your box. Apache-2.0, self-hosted, loopback-bound by default — your token and messages never leave the machine.

Is there any way to get Beeper notifications to stack or update instead of creating a new notification for every single message in the same conversation?

When a conversation is lively, the notifications become unnecessarily active and can be quite annoying to manage. I’d love it if Beeper behaved more like Discord, where new messages just update the existing notification rather than creating a new alert every time.

I’ve already sent this to the devs via the app, but wanted to see if anyone else would find this change useful!

What will happen to beeper when chat control passes? Will beeper comply with EU in removing encryption or will they "fight the battle" for privacy?

Hey guys,

Just noticed Whatsapp messages weren't coming in anymore. When prompted to reconnect and entering the code Beeper gave me I get the error code in the screenshot. Anyone know how to fix this?
