tl;dr: Messenger Lite, Meta's "less than 10MB to download" lightweight version of Messenger, will no longer be available on Android after Sep 18, as Meta redirects users to the Messenger app. The main Messenger app will also drop SMS support next month.

Thats why I use Beeper, yes I know that this is a closed source software but they made all bridges foss and if you want you can build your own beeper, I just hate messenger app and having messenger SMS whatsapp telegram discord and ~~Twitter~~ X in one place is a miracle.

Doesn't beeper use matrix bridges?

Yeah they are using matrix but bridges are their own creation. And they also fund devs of existing bridges.
