Beeper, an instant messenger software, rolled out the first set of revamped apps for iOS and desktop for beta testers.

Last year, WordPress.com owner Automattic acquired the multi-service messaging app Beeper for $125 million and said it would merge it with Texts.com, an earlier acquisition in the same category.

In a blog post, Beeper said that it developed the desktop app using Texts.com app’s foundation, and the iOS app from scratch.

The company added that the new set of apps is advanced, faster and less battery-hungry.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Texts.com founder Kishan Bagaria said that while users can still use the old app, eventually the company will provide a simple way to migrate to the new set of apps.

Currently, the app uses Beeper Cloud to store messages and credentials for other services. In upcoming versions, all this data will be stored on-device.

Moreover, the new apps will have on-device encryption for enhanced privacy and security, and support multiple accounts related to the same messaging service.

Additionally, Bagaria stated that down the line, the Mac app will allow users to send and receive iMessages.
