Get one month free on Beeper Mini with a referral code, plus safety concerns explained

What is the Beeper Mini Android App?

The battle between iPhone and Android has a long and bloody history. For decades, though at times it feels like centuries, users from both teams have debated over which is better. Apple users have often argued that the interface is sleeker and more aesthetic compared to that of Android phones.

But don’t fear Android message users, as an app is now available in the Android App Store that allows you to communicate with friends on over 15 different platforms, including iMessage.

Launched officially on December 5, Beeper Mini allows Android users to change that nasty green bubble to blue and communicate with iPhone users like never before. According to their website, “All chat features like typing status, read receipts, full resolution images/video, emoji reactions, voice messages, editing, un-sending, and more are supported.”

Unlike previous apps and Beeper Mini’s older sibling, this new software does not require a MacBook to act as the middleman by bouncing messages back and forth. No Apple ID is required and the company ensures full end-to-end encryption. 

The new Android app generously gives you seven days for free, and then it’s £1.99 a month!

Do you need a referral code for Beeper Mini?

While you initially needed a referral code to bypass the waitlist, the full launch of the Android App means its magic is available to everyone. However, should you get a referral code, you can get an entire month for free.

To get a referral code, you need a friend who has been a member of the app for at least 24 hours. When signing up yourself, simply click the option that allows you to enter your best bud’s code.

Is the Beeper Mini app Android safe?

As per the company’s website: “Unlike other similar apps, Beeper Mini does not use a Mac relay server in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple servers to send and receive end-to-end encrypted messages. Encryption keys never leave your device. No Apple ID is required. Beeper does not have access to your Apple account.

“Your messages are end-to-end encrypted. Neither Beeper, Apple, nor anyone except the intended recipients can read your messages or view attachments. Read more about how Beeper Mini works.”

In addition, Beeper CEO Eric Migicovsky previously said that he believes the company is on the right side of the law and is not in danger of being shut down.
