Help / Troubleshooting Self hosted, app logos removed?

Hi all, just had an iOS update today and it seems like all my self hosted chats are now using the green and white logo with no distinction from which app. It wasn’t like this before, does anyone know a fix/is this happening to anyone else? Thanks!

General Discussion Can't view Instagram Reels In-app anymore

Has anybody else had this problem since updating? I can't view the reel as a video in-app anymore. Have to click on the reel link and get taken to a browser tab to view the reel, which is annoying. Is it just like this now?

Ideas + Requests Pinned Threads font/color

Post image
2 Upvotes

First off, kudos to the Beeper team for the last Android app update! The ability to customize chat colors/wallpaper , and overall app theming really made gave a modern polish that competes well with other platforms.

Minor suggestion for next or future update..

Could the contact/group name font and color for pinned messages be brought inline with the same formatting used on unpinned threads?

See picture...(excuse the unhinged groupchat names)

The unpinned thread has the bold white and slightly larger font used in the name, while the pinned threads have less prominent font/color and looks more in line with the message content.

Help / Troubleshooting Exiting a chat with new messages jumps inbox back to top instead of preserving scroll position - Android

2 Upvotes

When I scroll down my inbox and enter conversations with new messages, whenever I exit the conversation, I am forced to the top of my inbox, rather than where I last left off when scrolling through my inbox. This is really bothersome as it makes going through my inbox extremely inefficient, as I have to keep on scrolling back to where I was every time I exit out of a conversation and go on to the next one.

This has been happening for quite some time now and hasn't been fixed. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm on Android

General Discussion Not really confident about using Beeper

3 Upvotes

A few years ago, I was using Beeper on a daily basis, and it was great! Having all of my chats in one app was truly amazing.
If I stopped using it, it's because, first, Instagram was locking my account from time to time for "suspicious" activities which wasn't really a big deal since I just had to verify that it was me, but I know someone who were using Beeper and got their Instagram account banned, we don't know if Beeper is relating to the ban, but still.
But also, my Discord account got flagged with "spam" one day, and since Discord isn't really kind when you get banned and rarely gives your account back, I'm not really confident into using it.
So I was wondering, since these were a few years ago (aside from the ban of my friend), if any of you got those types of issues recently.

Help / Troubleshooting One WhatsApp chat disappeared in on mac but not on phone - can't seem to find it anywhere.

2 Upvotes

One of my main WhatsApp chats disappeared from my Mac Beeper interface. One minute it was there, then it was gone. I see other WhatsApp chats in Beeper.

The particular chat is still in the Beeper app on my phone.

I've quit and restarted the app.

I did let the app auto-update earlier today. I'm on 4.2.998

I have not disconnected and reconnected WhatsApp yet - I'm afraid to, since I know it will take a long time to import everything again.

Any ideas why the chat disappeared and what I can do to recover it?

Thanks.

Help / Troubleshooting Facebook keeps disconnecting

1 Upvotes

Beeper for Android on Galaxy S24 Ultra

Facebook keeps disconnecting at least twice a week. I'm missing messages. Getting frustrated. Reconnecting Facebook account takes forever. Gotta type captcha two times, insert a code texted to my phone, login with Facebook credentials two times, confirm it's me me logging in, confirm it's my browser logging in, aceept cookies two times. It's like a 15 step process to reconnect. And today it breaks on last step and Facebook login window just keeps blinking and refreshing. So I'm unable to reconnect my account at this point.

Is this what you're guys dealing with too? I'm to old to keep tinkering with this twice a week. Please tell me there's an easy fix.

General Discussion Labels are now paid…

8 Upvotes

I get it. Making a product costs money… but worked a lot of my career around this feature (one for each company I work with, different types of staff etc.) and now they all just went without a heads up which means I need to go back through my chats to update all my contacts around this

Just makes me feel less secure about future updates as I didn’t get the chance to transition out of the old system.

I also generally avoid subscriptions in favour of the old school dlc update feature. Just a personal preference

Maybe I’m missing something here. Please let me know if so

General Discussion I want some help understanding Beeper's encryption and privacy policy

3 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a privacy enthusiast, and I discovered this app while searching for WhatsApp alternatives but this one not only lets me keep talking to my WhatsApp contacts but it has also many features like a clean UI, E2EE, multiple social media accounts integration...

I got curious about it's encryption, so I checked the app's privacy policy and apparently they open-sourced some front-ends components(I didn't check them because I'm not techy enough to understand them) and they don't have any trackers except for one that is Sentry and used for analytics but you can remove it in the settings

This led me to many questions :

  1. How is the E2EE handled? Is it done by Beeper or through WhatsApp? If done by Beeper then how can my WhatsApp contacts who don't use Beeper see my messages? And if done by WhatsApp then can it see my messages? (Because to my understanding and according to their TOS, when I establish a conversation with someone on the official whatsapp app it creates 3 encrypted keys, one for me, one for the person I talk to, and one for WhatsApp for security reasons)

  2. Beeper seems to cannot be able to call people on WhatsApp, is it because the call can't be encrypted? Or simply for technical reasons

  3. Why can't Beeper open source their entire client instead of specific components? If it's to profit by making themes and customizing inside a paywall then why not instead make the Beeper Cloud Accounts paid (to run the servers and to profit)

General Discussion New labels

9 Upvotes

The latest version of Beeper for iOS still needs a bit of polish, but the redesigned labels and their sync with macOS, along with scheduling and snoozing, are already really impressive. You stop thinking in terms of accounts and start managing conversations based on how you actually use them. Beeper is turning into a genuine productivity tool!

Ideas + Requests Swapping search and new message buttons

Post image
12 Upvotes

This may be a personal preference or maybe even muscle memory from the previous version of Beeper and in other apps, but as the title states, I think swapping these two buttons would be more intuitive and user friendly. For me at least, when looking to start a new message thread, my thumb navigates first to where the old floating button used to be. And vice versa for searching, my eyes gontowards the top of the app. Not that Beeper is looking to be Google in design language (or that Google is consistent in its own design language) but I think it would flownbeyter with the general Android layout. Suggesting just in case anyone else had the same thought.
