I was on the beta testing team and have been using Beeper for a little over two years now.

The convenience of having an application to house all of your chat networks is amazing.

How is it difficult for Beeper to read unencrypted messages from memory?

    Super easy. Especially since this is all under their control. So they could simply write those messages elsewhere if they wanted to. I’m not saying they do, but it’s technically possible and a walk in the park.

    I would generally trust such a company to do it right. But that doesn’t save you when law enforcement and such get involved.

    Memory is not storage, so you would need to be logging what's in memory, I guess. Not impossible, but also not trivial either.

    Honestly I'm not sure how it could be done, but I'm sure it's possible
