Eric Migicovsky the CEO of Pebble has innovated this app which is going to be a platform that serves cross-platform messaging.

Migicovsky has shared a tweet in which he claims that he has been using the Beeper app as his default chat app for the last two years. If you are thinking about how Beeper has managed to get iMessage working on the Android platform, then let us tell you that the company has admitted that it was the tough job of the team. But finally, the development team found a workaround. “And yes, iMessage works even on Android, Windows and Linux using some trickery,” reads Migicovsky Twitter post.
