- Beeper, known for its iMessage-to-Android efforts, announced its acquisition by Automattic, the company behind WordPress.
- With the acquisition, Beeper’s Android app is out of beta and available to anyone without a waitlist.
Beeper earned notoriety for its audacious but unsuccessful attempt to bring iMessage to Android. However, this app is more than just that; it’s a convenient aggregator designed to be a single, streamlined inbox for all of your chatting apps.
While the iMessage setback seemed like the end of the road for Beeper, the company has seemingly turned over a new leaf with its acquisition by Automattic — the parent company of the popular WordPress platform.
