I prefer Beeper because I don’t need multiple other chat apps installed and grabbing my data.
Yes, you have to trust Beeper.
I personally found it when I was forced to use WhatsApp with my landlord, and refuse to install any meta apps on my phone. I’ve since linked Telegram and Discord.
Not to mention many of those apps require permissions to work, but I can easily deny them on Beeper and Beeper doesn’t care.
I’d rather they have my messages vs WhatsApp, Discord, Telegram, etc. all having individual access to my photos, location, all of my phone sensor data, etc.
Like I said, many apps refuse to work properly if you deny them permissions, but Beeper doesn’t.
It’s just easier to use a single app. I don’t use any of the services I mention to send any private info. Like I said in a different reply, Telegram is for unraid notifications, WhatsApp is for my landlord to yell at me, and Discord is public servers.
All already public info or basic alerts. I’d prefer just not having a bunch of apps installed.
I don’t use any of the services I mentioned to send any private or personal info. They could all be public tweets for all I care. I care more about my location data and other data these individual apps would get access to, over the messages I send through them.
Like Telegram is used strictly for unraid notifications, WhatsApp with my landlord, and Discord is public servers.

I appreciate you sharing this information. I didn’t know about Shelter
Hope they don’t get pwned.

Nothing private at all.
