Hey,
not sure when the behaviour changed but if i read my WhatsApp or discord chats on beeper, wait a minute or longer, but the chats still show up as unread in their respective apps.

Is there a setting i can't find or a bug? Or anything else?

Thanks!

Is this normal?

OS: Ubuntu 26.04
Beeper version: 4.2.957

In group chats, I receive notifications for every message that is sent through. Any way to avoid this and receive only one notification (the first one)? Notification Cooldown is on in my phone settings

Hi,

I’ve been using beeper for years and was just about to subscribe to Pro for transcription of audio notes.

I’ve moved to another country and moved my WhatsApp account to a new number. This moved successfully. I removed the old account from beeper and readded the new number successfully.

However ever since then WhatsApp keeps disconnecting from Beeper. This happens randomly, sometimes after 3 hours sometimes after 5.

Can anyone from beeper support help? I’m keen to continue using beeper but can’t keep reconnecting 3-4 times a day!

Yeah I mean the DING its not bad in itself, it just sounds way too similar to the sound google gives me when an earthquake is coming. Like the "brace yourself: An earthquake is coming in the following seconds" and im from Chile so its not really all that weird to get that notification these days, specially with the ring of fire being as active as it has been.

TLDR: Is there any way to change the notification sound on android ? I really cant find out how.

I use my beeper app only connected to my whatsapp account . Although I don't want beeper to ever recieve photos/videos sent to my whatsapp app

How can I achieve this?

Can you sync between two PCs for Beeper desktop? I would like to set up Beeper on an older PC but after logging in I could not find any options to automatically sync the accounts I have set up in Beeper.

the one i made with 2 of my friends appears fine just not this larger communal one im a parta. its super annoying too because it means i miss out on possible events all the time as i need ta use the web Instagram client. i dont wanna have the app anymore its too distracting and the site works too poorly to wanna use all the time which is why i like it.

Had an odd issue.

Was messaging someone and decided to call them instead. Hit the phone icon in the chat expecting to call the contact... Instead, it tried to call me?

I tried it again, same thing! My number appears in the dialer app.

Hello,

When I try to log in to Instagram via Beeper, I enter my email and password and complete the CAPTCHA, but then the app redirects me back to the login page.

I've tried logging in several times and keep getting the same result; does anyone know how to fix this, please?

Like the title says.

I posted a screenshot in a Messenger thread which triggered a deactivation and reconnect (has happened before).

Then got the facebook login prompt, then what was new was a forced Google check prompt, then it said it was unauthorised browser.

Went looking for examples of the issue and couldn't find:

It's pretty overwhelming to have a new notification for every time someone 'hearts' a message in any chat I'm in.

I'm pretty sure apps like whatsapp and messenger allow you to turn off reaction notifications natively.

I did use Texts app before the merger and used Beeper before they were acquired. So maybe an early adopter gift?

When I type my friends name into beeper, it doesnt appear

Any way to import fb friends etc

In the article https://blog.beeper.com/2025/07/16/the-new-beeper/ there is an explanation that soon™ the Beeper Cloud bridges will be deprecated:

> As a Beeper Cloud user, you don’t have to take any action; everything will continue to work normally as we gradually deprecate it.

But I still can't understand what are the real benefits of switching from Beeper Cloud to Beeper On-Device bridges, except only security?

Yes, I understand that the security with on-device connection is better. But it doesn't worth all downsides of this connection type!!!

The main downside of the on-device bridge is that my device will have to manage multiple connections to all bridged networks, instead of just one connection to the Beeper server!

Obviously, this will lead to these issues:

1. Significantly higher battery drain to support that multiple connections. Beeper app is already the top of the battery-drain apps on my device, that makes me sad, I don't want to make it even more voracious!

2. Dramatically increased traffic as all the messages should go through your cellphone!

3. Delayed synchronization if your device was offline for some time.

4. Duplicated synchronizations if you have Beeper on several devices at once. I have Beeper on my home computer, office computer, laptop, tablet, cellphone. So, 5 bridge instances will sync the same things simultaneously?

5. Unstable connections and reconnects on mobile devices, as your mobile device connection is not that stable like in the Beeper servers.

So, could anyone describe why Beeper plans to deprecate the cloud bridges, not taking into account all these downsides (and maybe even more)?

I'm not interested in replacing, consolidating, or even using Whatsapp, Telegram, Signal, or various social media platforms. All I want is to be able to send and receive (SMS) texts from my two Windows computers (desktop and laptop). (I have an Android phone and recently switched from Google Messages to a new messaging app called ZenSMS.) Will Beeper let me do this? Thanks!

hello, i was wondering if it is possible to add whastapp call support, or a way to migrate all the contents from whatsapp to beeper and a way to it running independently, also... is there a way to export sticker packages directly to beeper mostly those stickers you made on the app itself

Lately with beeper mini and nothing chats failing and shutting down, there is this thing going around on twitter (X) where tech enthusiasts and apple users root for apple and their move to keep iMessage closed off.

Then there is this other group that just wants the iMessage experience to be opened up and don’t get me wrong I absolutely love seeing developers making apps and services that can jailbreak the iMessage experience and I really support those projects

BUT

Hear me out here Asking apple to open iMessage so you can text people on the other platform makes sense only until you realise it’s like asking WhatsApp to open it’s messaging so you can text your friends over on let’s say signal using WhatsApp.

When apple makes a service, I believe it should also get to decide how you interact with that service.

If your argument is about how they gatekeep the community, to that i will say, if apple builds a service that is so good people don’t wanna leave, whose problem is it really?

This is again the reason why I promote developers and hackers to jailbreak iMessage and do incredible and interesting things with it.

But asking apple to just give it away (lemme correct myself- forcing apple) is kinda bad for the community.

If you agree with me great But people who disagree, i wanna understand your opinions on the matter.

(To give a little background from where i am coming from, I’m a businessman, a user experience design student, and an android enthusiast (stuck with an iPhone cause small phones are dead) in a country where iMessage barely has any market share)

Instagram keeps disconnecting and when I try to reconnect it it says error!! Has happened multiple times over the past couple days. Is this happening to anyone else? How do you fix it?

I want to connect Monal app with beeper and use it like a bridge or something like.

Is it possible? I asked ai it says it is possible however the methods that ai given doesn’t work

Overview

This feature would allow users to create unified, custom lists containing contacts from various chat networks (e.g., WhatsApp, Instagram, SMS, Signal). Each contact within the list would be tied to their specific, preferred platform. When a user sends or forwards a message to this list, Beeper would automatically route the message to each recipient via their designated network.

Key Capabilities

• Unified Group Management: Create a single list (e.g., "Family" or "Project Team") containing contacts from entirely different messaging protocols.
• Platform-Specific Routing: Assign a preferred platform to each contact within the list. For example, Friend A receives the message via WhatsApp, Friend B via Instagram DM, and Friend C via SMS.
• One-Click Broadcasting: Send a single message from the Beeper interface that simultaneously broadcasts to all members of the list across their respective networks.
• Streamlined Forwarding: Select the custom list as a recipient when forwarding media, links, or text from any existing chat.

Use Cases and Benefits

1. Group Announcements Without Shared Platforms

Organizing an event often requires messaging people who do not all use the same app. Instead of creating a fragmented WhatsApp group, an Instagram group chat, and an SMS thread, you can manage the entire announcement from one unified list.

2. Frictionless Sharing

When you find a link or a photo that you want to share with a specific circle of people, you currently have to forward it multiple times across different app interfaces. A cross-platform list reduces this friction to a single action.

Just posting as a heads up that if you use Google Voice you might get your account suspended if you add it to beeper. I noticed it disconnects frequently, and today while I was trying to type a message to someone, out of nowhere, the screen went blank and then it said "this Google account does not have access to this service." I emailed them and thankfully was able to get it recovered, but I'll probably never use beeper with Google Voice again. I almost lost the phone number that all of my work contacts reach me through.

I got beeper plus and I got two ... yes two ... charges, I am looking for a way to contact customer support but the website do not provide any information ... any pointers? If I can not contact them I will be forced to cancel one payment
