Beeper on desktop user here for over a year! It’s still working great and I hope it never goes away. I believe it uses a different system than the android version.

I think I’m in that unlucky 5% of users that apple is blocking. Mine quit last week.

Edit: I should mention that I can still send texts, but receiving is broken and no amount of relinking iCloud account/reinstalling/yelling at the top of my lungs seems to fix it.

Are you using Beeper on desktop? It's my understanding that they are using Mac Minis somewhere and Apple can't do anything about that
