iMessage comes to Samsung Galaxy Phones via Beeper Mini
Apple is very active in terms of its device security, so its users can enjoy its products without worrying about data theft or privacy breaches. To maintain security, the company has limited its functions to only its products; therefore, users are not able to connect with each other if they are using cross-platform devices like the iPhone or iPad with other Android devices. But some applications like Beeper are available, which will work as a bridge for iMassages support.
The Beeper mini application claims to be a standalone Android app that allows users to communicate with iPhone users with the iMessage. However, it is not the first time, while the same claims have been made by Nothing with its Nothing chat app, which uses Sunbird servers to communicate with iMessage.
Going into some technical details, the Beeper team is not using the same techniques as Nothing, but they have solved the problem of making the service identity similar to the Apple software, which makes it connect to the Apple server. In this way, they make it possible to register the phone number directly in the iMessage.
Beeper Mini new features:
- Your Android phone number is now a blue bubble.
- Beautiful new design, blazing fast speed.
- Full end-to-end encryption.
- It’s a standalone Android app – no server, laptop, Mac or iPhone required.
If you want to use the service, then you just have to download the Beeper application from the Galaxy Play Store. However, to take advantage of the services, you have to pay $1.99 per month. It comes with a simple interface and supports all the basic components of messaging, including audio messages, images, videos, files, contacts, and location.
Over the years, Google has made several improvements to its most crucial application, the Google Play Store, and it constantly provides new utility features and improvements. Now, with the latest development, the company is working on a new capability to handle multiple application downloads.
According to the information, Google is looking to bring a new capability to download multiple applications together. Previously, when you tap on the install button of the applications, it starts downloading them one by one. When one application fully downloads, it starts downloading the second application.
However, it is worth noticing that the phenomenon of multiple downloading is limited to only two applications, meaning if you tap on more than three applications to download, it will start downloading two applications while the third one is still pending.
Additionally, the simultaneous download is limited to the new installs, but it will not apply to the update section. We hope that Google may expand the multiple downloads to update phenomenon and may increase the number of downloads together in the next developments.
As per the information, the new change has already started working on several devices, at least for the Android 14 installed devices with the latest version of the Play Store (40.6.31).
Good Lock plays a key role in providing a platform for all the customizing applications or plugins of the Galaxy devices. For information, it provides several types of plugins like NavStar, QuickStar, LockStar, Camera Assistant, and many more. With these plugins, users can perform several customizations for the smartphone UI, including navigation bars, lock screens, home screens, notifications, and many more. To manage these plugins more conveniently, the company has started rolling out the update for Good Lock.
Good Lock is receiving a new update, version 2.2.04.95. With the latest update, the company has introduced some new changes that will fix the phenomenon of installation and deletion of modules, so users can easily manage them according to their requirements.
Along with this, the changelog also says to bring some fixes for the security-related functionalities, so if you are also having some issues while using any of the functions of Good Lock or want to get some performance enhancements, then you should go for the latest Good Lock update.
If you want to install the latest version of Good Lock, you can check its availability from the Galaxy Store. If it is available, tap on the update button, but if it isn’t available, you can also sideload the application through some external sources.
