Last week‚ Beeper Mini made headlines by bringing iMessage to Android. After just a few days‚ though‚ users began to report that iMessage was no longer working through Beeper Mini‚ with Apple reportedly blocking the app. Now‚ Beeper Mini's iMessage app is back‚ thanks to a workaround that requires your Apple ID email. The change is a bit disappointing‚ as it means your friends will now need to use your Apple ID email to send you messages. Previously Beeper Mini let you sign up with your phone number‚ which it then used to register your device with iMessage. Now‚ though‚ signing up with a phone number has been removed‚ and instead you will have to use your Apple ID email to receive and send iMessages on Android using the app. The company behind the Beeper Mini iMessage app shared the news in a blog post this week‚ detailing the change and saying that it is working to bring back phone number registration. Additionally‚ the company has made the decision to make Beeper Mini free to use. Previously‚ the app required a $2 a month subscription. iPhone Messages Image source: José Adorno for BGR However‚ because of the volatile nature of the situation right now‚ and the fact that Apple could possibly block Beeper Mini again at any point‚ the company doesn't want to charge users until things stabilize again. According to a statement made by Apple to The Verge over the weekend‚ Apple feels that the method that Beeper Mini uses pose "significant risk to user security and privacy". However‚ Beeper says that is the exact opposite of what happened‚ and that "Beeper Mini made communication between Android and iPhone users more secure." It's important to note that this new workaround for Beeper Mini's iMessage app does not utilize Mac relay servers in the way that Nothing's iMessage app did. It still runs on a cloud server‚ and works similarly to the way that the original design worked when you could use your phone number‚ the company says. Of course‚ it's very possible that Apple could respond in some way to this workaround‚ so I wouldn't recommend hedging your bets on things just yet. No matter how you slice it‚ using Beeper Mini is stealing iMessage from Apple‚ and it remains to be seen just how much the situation will stabilize‚ or if Apple will even let Beeper Mini remain operational using these methods.

Rumors of a Windows 12 release have been spreading for a few months now‚ with some even claiming that the Windows 12 update would arrive as early as 2024. However‚ a new exclusive report from well-known Windows leaker Zac Bowden says that Windows 12 might not happen at all. In fact‚ Microsoft could completely change how it approaches OS updates going forward. Bowden still stands by the ongoing reports that Microsoft is gearing up to ship a major new release of the Windows OS. That new version is currently codenamed Germanium. However‚ Bowden says that the big update most likely won't be released as Windows 12. Instead‚ it could go by a different branding to try to help keep the user base from becoming even more fragmented. Windows 11 has been out since October of 2021. However‚ only 400 million of the current 1.4 billion Windows users are running the new operating system. Many haven't switched due to being unable to meet the new security requirements Microsoft put into place‚ and others don't feel Windows 11 is fully optimized just yet. Introducing Windows 12‚ as reports indicate could happen in 2024‚ in this current setup would indeed fragment things even more. Copilot will likely be a major part of future Windows updates. Image source: Microsoft And while Microsoft has announced an end-of-life date for Windows 10‚ the company also announced paid security updates that will last until 2028‚ so many people won't be in a hurry to upgrade anytime soon. Nevertheless‚ Bowden says that the Hudson Valley OS (which is the current codename for Windows 12) will be considered a new version of Windows internally. All that's left to do is figure out how Microsoft plans to brand it and market it. Included in these new Windows 12 reports‚ though‚ are also reports of big changes to the Windows roadmap. Under ex-Windows chief Panos Panay‚ Windows switched away from its annual upgrades‚ instead focusing on releasing major new updates every few years‚ with big feature drops scattered throughout. Now‚ though‚ Bowden says Microsoft leadership is returning to its old way of doing things. That means we can expect just one big feature update a year instead of smaller ones throughout. This could‚ of course‚ lead to further fragmentation of the user base‚ especially if Microsoft doesn't offer a good way to support those on older operating systems. There's still a lot of good hardware that doesn't meet those annoying Windows 11 requirements‚ and whatever comes next isn't likely to drop those requirements‚ either. No matter where Microsoft decides to go with things‚ all the prevailing Windows 12 reports indicate that Hudson Valley‚ or Windows 12‚ or whatever Microsoft decides to call it‚ will take an even bigger approach to AI support within the Windows ecosystem. That means Microsoft will continue to push Copilot and all of the other AI-driven features it has introduced in the last few months.
