Samsung is retiring it’s messages app, and I don’t want to install Google messages to replace it.
What apps are you using instead and what do you like or hate about them?
I just use Google Messages, but I’m signed out of the app. Actually, no Google acct on my whole phone. I stick to F-Droid for apps of I need em.
The way I see it, mousy sms stiff goes through the carrier servers I’d not Google, and at least Messages is RCS. However, I’m running XMPP and jmp.chat for a phone number to test out switching entirely and setting up friends and family on my server. Trying to go full hermit mode.
Love Textra. Simple does what it supposed to and has per contact color coding for messages, can block numbers and set delayed outgoing messages per contact too. Displays MMS, pictures adnd reactions for Apple as expected.
Quik is the one I use. It has a nice design to it https://github.com/quik-sms/quik
Another for QUIK. I hate SMS, but QUIK is great.
I also use QUIK and love all its features, most especially the minimal and very customizable UI
I have been using Textra for about 6 years, on multiple phones. Never looked too deep into it, but the feature set is everything I want and more.
I use messages from https://github.com/FossifyOrg works well, there is no plenty of settings, so not very customisable.
i used mood before, but i changed because they added advertising in the app https://moodsms.com/
