Plus your messages will no longer be fully E2E encrypted. As per their FAQ (emphasis mine):

"For example, if you send a message from Beeper to a friend on WhatsApp, the message is encrypted on your Beeper client, sent to the bridge, which decrypts and re-encrypts the message with WhatsApp's proprietary encryption protocol."

Directly underneath that they also say:

"Using native end-to-end encrypted chat apps independently may be more secure than connecting to them to Beeper"

What do you mean "no longer"? Beeper has always behaved like this.

No longer as in for a new user that currently uses individual apps.

You can host the bridges yourself:

Seems like an insane amount of work for the satisfaction of only having to check one chat app.

Still won't be E2E as per their FAQ
