Frequently Asked Questions:

• Are polls supported?
  • Not at this time. 
• Will WhatsApp statuses (aka stories) be shown in Beeper?
  • Yes. If you do not want to see these, right click the message in the inbox and Archive the chat room called WhatsApp Status Broadcast
• Can I connect two WhatsApp accounts?
  • Not at this time.
• If I remove a WhatsApp chat on Beeper, will I leave the chat on WhatsApp as well?
  • No, it will only remove the chat from Beeper inbox.
• Will view only once messages feature work the same way like it does on WhatsApp?
  • No. Currently we don’t track when users open media and hence cannot support it in a similar fashion. Such messages will remain on Beeper as any other encrypted message.
• How do we keep WhatsApp Archived chats as Archived?
  • We recommend that if you have WhatsApp chats you never want to see in your Inbox, to mark them as Low Priority in Beeper. This way, they are muted and will never be displayed on your inbox.
• Will I be able to edit media captions?
  • Not at the moment. Captions can't be edited from Beeper. Also, though you can edit it using the native app, the edit won't sync back to Beeper.
