Beeper just solved the headache of messaging the same person on four different apps
During a regular workday, I text the same handful of people across three or four different apps. It’s mostly Teams or Slack for work, WhatsApp for sharing locations or personal stuff, and Instagram for Reels (mostly memes). On lighter days, it’s manageable, but when things get busy, keeping track of different conversations has genuinely thrown me off more than once.

On lighter days, it’s manageable, but when things get busy, keeping track of different conversations has genuinely thrown me off more than once. Beeper just shipped an update that solves that mess. The universal chat app can now compile conversations with the same person from different apps into a single chatbot. While this isn’t the only update that the platform has announced, it’s perhaps the most important one. Beeper So how does merging chats actually work? Beeper already lets you pull every messaging app into one inbox.
