Firstly ~ I'm a huge fan of beeper! Can't wait for a paid tier to come out so I can support it. I recently got my partner on to beeper as well & I was wondering what platform do y'all prefer for messaging with other people also on beeper?

At the moment we're using WhatsApp via beeper (we were using WhatsApp before) ~ I'm considering moving to matrix on beeper, but it seems much less feature complete (Can't show her profile picture on it since rooms can only have one photo for everyone, typing indicator doesn't function, etc.) I'd like to move away from Meta-owned WhatsApp. What do you suggest?

If I can ask, what caused you to leave beeper?

Mostly constantly being logged out of the various services. Partly getting several warnings from Meta about "abuse" on my accounts. Partly the inability to use my own Matrix ID. Partly the inevitable paid future. Partly the sad reality that it's never going to work properly for iMessage. Partly myself just abandoning many of these services altogether.

It's just never going to be what I thought it would or could be.
