How to start a new chat:

  1. To start a new chat on iOS, simply click on the compose icon on the top right corner of your screen. 
  2. From there, it will take you to the compose page where you can enter the name or number of the user you'd like to send a message to. Simply select their name and tap on the specific chat network you want to reach them in.

Important things to note:

  • Starting a new chat is supported for the following networks only: Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal, and Google Messages. For more information, please visit this page: How Do I Start A New Chat?
  • You can only start a new chat with a user using the chat networks that their number is registered with. If a user does not have a WhatsApp account, it will not appear as an option in the compose page after selecting their name.
  • If you're having trouble launching the composer, please check your iOS Settings → Beeper → Contacts and ensure that access is enabled.

What's not included?

  • Scheduling messages is not yet supported on Beeper; it's on the roadmap.
  • Group chat creation is only available for Google Messages on Android and desktop. It is not available on iOS.
