New Features ✨
Google Voice Support 📞
Beeper is adding a new network to our list of supported apps after quite some time: Google Voice – available on Beeper On-Device, joining Google Messages and Google Chat in the growing family of supported Google messaging apps
Settings → Chat Accounts → Add Account → Google Voice
Linkedin On-device
Previously Beeper Cloud–only, LinkedIn can now be added as a Beeper On-Device connection. This means you can connect multiple LinkedIn accounts (with Beeper Plus) while keeping your chats stored securely on your device
Enhanced typing indicator support
Beeper now has bidirectional typing indicators support for Google Messages and Instagram for On-Device connections
Don’t Mark As Read after Archive
Previously, Archiving on Beeper meant that you were also sending the chat a read receipt
Now, it’s configurable, so nobody is accidentally left on read
Settings → Preferences → Read on archive

message text with unescaped brackets was not properly linkified
the “Connect More Accounts” inbox banner could get squished down and make itself un-dismissable on some devices
