Automattic, developer of WordPress, has announced it's acquired the universal messaging app, Beeper, which combines 14 different chat networks into one inbox. It'll be merging Texts with Beeper, and will update in due course.

Beeper has been a leader in simplifying chat apps with a focus on streamlined user experiences. As the teams go through organizational changes, Texts and Beeper will merge under the Beeper brand. But the good stuff you already loved isn’t changing! End-to-end encryption helps keep your conversations secure, and you’ll have access to well over a dozen app integrations, with even more to come.
