Built for speed and performance, with a complete redesign of the look and feel. You'll be able to try it for yourself soon…

A small sample of the many new features:

• OLED black theme
• Local message cache (all chats open instantly)
• Add/modify chat networks (no need to set up on desktop)
• Chat bubbling
• Tablet (multi-pane) mode
• Full message search (across all your chat networks)

Beeper is said to be focusing on adding other chat networks to their “Mini” app, and preparing for a relaunch.

Bloomberg says no, according to “people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity.”

The decision is to be officially released by the EU in February 2024
