Beeper.com - matrix app
Beeper is literally designed on Matrix. Every service uses Matrix bridges. Beeper has openly-stated that the end-goal is to get users to migrate to Matrix.
So yes, Matrix is the preferred comm method. Although using Matrix on Beeper's proprietary server is not ideal.
Is there a way to have separate profile pictures on the chat? I'd like them to see my picture & me to see theirs.
On what chat?
A matrix direct message ~ they don't seem to support DMs so instead it's a room!
You definitely can with Matrix (and I do). There's all sorts of profile info you can complete.
Whether the Beeper client supports that, I don't know. I uninstalled it several months ago.
If I can ask, what caused you to leave beeper?
Mostly constantly being logged out of the various services. Partly getting several warnings from Meta about "abuse" on my accounts. Partly the inability to use my own Matrix ID. Partly the inevitable paid future. Partly the sad reality that it's never going to work properly for iMessage. Partly myself just abandoning many of these services altogether.
It's just never going to be what I thought it would or could be.
Matrix. You can use your beeper account on one of the more fully featured matrix clients such as Element X
In my mind, having to use a whole new client defeats the point 😅
It’s the same account though. You can have both clients or just element
That's fair ~ I do still have other chat apps installed to access more features in the individual platforms, this wouldn't be much different.
