> If Apple insists, we would consider adding a pager emoji to metadata on all messages sent via Beeper Mini. This would make it easy for Messages App to filter out any messages from Beeper Mini users.

Presumably this would only be if Apple agreed to allow the beeper mini users by default? I appreciate Beeper's stance on all of this, and hope they can continue operating.



It’s also either naive or a troll. If that did become the handshake it would be reverse engineered and spoofed by bad actors just the same.


The point isn't to prove that it's beeper sending the message, the point is that Apple could give users an option to ignore Beeper's messages.

Either way, I doubt Apple would come to an agreement and would most likely continue to play the cat and mouse game (like they do with people who jb)
