Beeper breaks e2e. Only use it with caution
Edit: I don’t want to discredit beeper, it’s just what it is. As long as you know what you do, e.g. no nudes, everything is fine - it’s still matrix.
Beeper bridges break E2EE. Encrypted Beeper <-> Matrix messages remain encrypted.
Does it though? Not seeing anything about it
@Display Name@lemmy.ml is right, confirmed via their official FAQs: https://www.beeper.com/faq#how-does-beeper-connect-to-encrypted-chat-networks-like-imessage-signal-whatsapp
When sending and receiving Signal, iMessage and WhatsApp messages, Beeper’s web service acts as a relay. For example, if you send a message from Beeper to a friend on WhatsApp, the message is encrypted on your Beeper client, sent to the Beeper web service, which decrypts and re-encrypts the message with WhatsApp’s proprietary encryption protocol.
Is Google’s RCS open? Last I heard, it was still limited to Google Messages, but it’s been a long time since I’ve paid attention.
