you can always use beeper app too and sign into IG, FB, WhatsApp, imessage, signal, telegram in one app

Is that secure though?
Obviously not. You have to hand over your plaintext credentials to a third party to explicitly copy over each and every text.
Beeper can be self hosted, so you can use the gateways without passing credentials to third party. I think the iMessage bridge is using libpurple
I trust beeper eula more than meta's.
Make sure you get your dog or a random stranger to accept Metas terms and conditions on the accounts you may or may not be using otherwise they will try to send you legal threats based on their overbroad terms and conditions
Trusting only metas Eula’s is better than trusting both meta and beeper
you don't have to add meta to beeper
