Beeper Mini, an app that facilitates iMessage functionality, has been experiencing issues since Apple Inc. blocked it on December 9. Some users reported missing iMessages or complete app failure. Beeper's developers acknowledged the problem and suggested that Apple is deliberately blocking iMessages for about 5% of Beeper Mini users. Two temporary fixes have been suggested: clearing the app's cache and data, or uninstalling and reinstalling the app. A long-term solution has not been found yet.
