Bug fixes and other improvements We've created an updated version of Beeper Mini that fixes an issue that caused messages not to be sent or received. You can get the update directly from beeper.com/update on your phone. We are still doing some final testing before submitting the update to the Google Play Store for distribution to all users. If you encounter any issues, you may need to uninstall and reinstall the app.
I’d say Telegram isn’t superior. It’s default encryption is nowhere near iMessage.
And if you step up the encryption, you lose group chats.
For it’s flaws, iMessage is a very good solution, one that Signal was emulating for a while.
I’m not criticising the UX of iMessage for Apple to Apple comms. It’s solid, and was leader-in-class for a very long time.
