October 28, 2024 — Beeper 🤖 Android v4.17.64

New Features ✨

• Display Support for custom reactions
  • This is the first step in an overhaul to our Emoji & reaction logic, which will include a series of improvements in the coming weeks. Support for sending custom reactions, as well as displaying them within message text, is still a work in progress
• Enhanced control over media downloads
  • Previously, regardless of setting, Beeper would always attempt to download media whenever it was visible within a chat. This can lead to a host of issues, depending on a number of factors (data plans, network speed, etc)
  • ⚙️ → Preferences → Media → Always auto-download in-app
    • When this setting is disabled, media won’t be downloaded until you tap it
