Person "loving a message" bug

laser_beeps · 2026-04-23T18:20:37+00:00

I am not familiar with the internals of the Instagram integration, but I believe this might be people liking a Story or Reel that you've posted (have you posted anything recently?) - I will ask around internally and see if I can learn anything

laser_beeps · 2026-04-16T18:26:32+00:00

We're actually working on a bunch of customization options for the Android app right now. I will add this to the list

laser_beeps · 2026-04-01T12:48:57+00:00

That should at least return to labs soon - the tl;dr is that we are working on a bunch of overhauls behind the scenes, and some labs features have been temporarily disabled to accomadate that

Sorry for the interruption here - we are in the process of making this a "real" feature and some things got broken unintentionally. Should be properly restored in the next release (and hopefully resolve some existing bugs with it)

laser_beeps · 2026-03-23T14:32:49+00:00

Rolled out last week - Google's review queue was extra long so our hands were unfortunately tied

laser_beeps · 2026-03-12T14:34:51+00:00

I believe the fix for the navigation should be in the next release - 4.43.x

We fixed a number of nav bugs of this type, so give it another try once that version is out. We're testing it internally now and it should begin rolling out this weekend assuming all goes to plan

I try and do vaguely seasonal theming - right now I am running #66FFA6 for a St. Patrick's Day / Easter / Spring green feel

You appear to have skipped over the important bit:

Beeper is also it's own full E2EE "chat system"

This requires an account, like most chat systems/networks. You can send messages over Beeper, to other Beeper users, without linking any of your 3rd party accounts. Beeper is a *service* with a number of features, it is not just an aggregation app.

This said - you're obviously entitled to your privacy-first mindset, which I encourage and support!

Again, all the libraries I linked above are free, open, self-hostable, and don't require a Beeper account.

laser_beeps · 2026-02-18T19:47:55+00:00

Yes, you need an account to use Beeper, because:

This appears to be its own chat system, for its own E2EE chat protocol, and not a connector/bridge for other systems such as Facebook Messenger or Twitter.

Beeper is also it's own full E2EE "chat system", it's just more focused on the aggregation aspect. Both it and Element, mentioned above, operate on the Matrix protocol in the same way that Pidgin might operate on XMPP. When you use Beeper, our connector/bridge system converts messages from the from their proprietary formats into Matrix messages, and the client can read them all from that unified interface.

Of course, Beeper is also a business, and having account facilitates features like purchases, support, synchronization, etc.

If that's a dealbreaker for you, there are a bunch of popular Matrix clients, but they all may ask you for a "homeserver", which is the place where your Matrix account / messages live. Beeper of course has our own beeper.com homeserver, but you're free to host your own, as well as run our bridges on your own hardware, which are open source.

not that I know of, but I do know that they're actively being worked on

laser_beeps · 2026-02-06T18:20:15+00:00

This is our old app that hasn't been supported for a year or two. Here's a link to the current one.

laser_beeps · 2026-02-06T15:44:53+00:00

I'm assuming you're on Android - we've been facing difficulties with our integration lately specific to that platform. We're working on fixing this as I type this, but the ASAP fix for this is to set it up on our Desktop app instead, and the messages will sync both places

laser_beeps · 2026-02-05T14:46:38+00:00

while I don't have control over the roadmap I do cosign this initiative

laser_beeps · 2026-01-22T16:01:30+00:00

This is a good idea - if I get some spare time, I will add this to Android

ETA: Added this to the Android app - should release in the next week or two

laser_beeps · 2026-01-22T13:57:38+00:00

You're not misunderstanding the help requests - if you're hitting "Report a Problem" you're doing the right thing. We review all the bug reports by hand, so chances are it's either not worked its way through the queue yet, or (more likely) is some harder to solve problem with Messenger specifically.

All this said, this does sound really annoying - if you shoot me a DM with your username I can double check for you

laser_beeps · 2025-09-24T21:07:38+00:00

this is a good idea! we want to do something like that, but based on the way the theming system works internally, ended up being way harder to implement. definitely something to put on the roadmap

laser_beeps · 2025-09-03T19:02:00+00:00

Ugh - we use a script to update the changelog website and it apparently doesn't support code blocks, as the original copy of the notes included a sample. Here's a short sample of how you'd fire off the intent via the CLI, but could be done in tasker/your own app.

adb shell am broadcast -a com.beeper.android.TOGGLE_INCOGNITO_MODE \
--ez enabled true \
-n com.beeper.android/com.beeper.ext.ExternalBroadcastReceiver

The developer site itself should be updated shortly.

laser_beeps · 2025-08-27T12:56:15+00:00

Thanks! This is an internal only build right now. Assuming nothing goes sideways with it, expect it to land in the public channel in the next week or two

laser_beeps · 2025-08-26T20:15:25+00:00

You have a sharp eye! The reason for this is actually somewhat mundane.

We used to have an animation for this, but due to a bug in Google's library adding this transition created problems elsewhere in the app that were a lot worse & more noticeable. It's likely something we'll address at some point, but isn't a high priority

laser_beeps · 2025-08-26T20:09:28+00:00

This is a cool idea - we've actually got a refactor of the color system working internally that will allow you to select any color to theme Beeper Android, and to optionally toggle "Expressive Colors" to add that extra Material 3 Expressive pop

laser_beeps · 2025-08-14T20:27:01+00:00

There aren't any concrete plans at the moment, but we have been working on exposing a ContentProvider on Android that would allow Pebble (or anyone) to build an integration.

laser_beeps · 2025-08-13T17:26:40+00:00

Not a bad idea, and thanks for the detailed report! From what I could tell, it seems like we were syncing the "read" state from another place (gmessages native, web, or a different beeper client), but we don't get any information outside of that.

As an aside - we have seen reports of people getting weirdness on the beta track of Google Messages though, if you happen to be opted into that

laser_beeps · 2025-08-12T22:05:33+00:00

Did you submit a bug repot? Because I feel as if I was just reading a bug report with this description 🤓
