Apple may have blocked app that brought iPhone’s iMessage to Android

Apple may have restored the blue bubble-green bubble difference between iPhones and Android. Earlier this week, startup Beeper said that it has developed an app, called Beeper Mini, that allows Android users to send and receive iMessage chats that are end-to-end encrypted. But it seems that roughly three days after the news broke, Apple has fixed the issue that allowed cross-messaging between platforms.

As per a report by The Verge, the app started experiencing technical issues on Friday (December 8). Users were suddenly unable to send and receive blue bubble messages, and the problems worsened over the course of the day, as per numerous reports on the Beeper subreddit.

This suggests that Apple may have plugged the holes that allowed Android users to enjoy the iMessage experience with iPhone users.
