The Beeper app will enable Android, Windows and even Linux users to jump on iMessage and up to 14 external messaging applications. Essentially, it promises all of your messages from WhatsApp.

You can use the Messages app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to send messages. Those messages are sent as iMessage or SMS/MMS. Learn more about the difference between the message types.

To use SMS/MMS on an iPhone, you need a text-messaging plan. Contact your wireless carrier for more information. You can also set up your other Apple devices to send and receive messages from any Apple device.
