The New Beeper Is All Plus, No Fuss

·

Messaging should be open, seamless, and distraction-free—and that’s exactly what the next chapter in Beeper’s evolution delivers. While this milestone includes new features, it’s focused on a larger goal: shaping the future of communication.

Earlier today, our CEO and Founder, Matt Mullenweg, and Beeper CEO, Kishan Bagaria, spoke about how Beeper aligns with Automattic’s long-term mission to prioritize privacy, freedom, and connection. This includes:

  • Even stronger app security and privacy. In keeping with our commitment to privacy, the new Beeper includes a major upgrade to security. Users now have the option to run the connections entirely on their device without Beeper Cloud. This means end-to-end encryption is now preserved.
  • With Beeper Plus, we’re giving users more tools to communicate how they want, when they want, and with whomever they want. New premium features include:
    • Send Later. Schedule a message to go out at a time that makes sense—not just when the idea pops up.
    • Reminders. For when you’re too busy to respond to a chat or want to follow up later. 
    • Incognito Mode. Preview messages and respond at your own pace, without making the other person feel like they’ve been left on read. 
    • Multiple Accounts. Manage messages for multiple accounts per network. 
    • AI Voice Note Transcriptions. We all have a friend who loves to send long voice notes instead of messages. With transcriptions, you’re no longer stuck listening. 
    • Custom Icons. Apps should be customizable, down to the icon.
  • Beeper Plus Plus has the same features as Beeper Plus, but with unlimited accounts and Priority Support.
  • Beeper is still free for all users, with bonus features available for paid subscribers.
