On Saturday, Apple issued the following statement to 9to5Mac on its decision to shut down Beeper Mini, the app that brought iMessage to Android:
“At Apple, we build our products and services with industry-leading privacy and security technologies designed to give users control of their data and keep personal information safe. We took steps to protect our users by blocking techniques that exploit fake credentials in order to gain access to iMessage.
