Jack@ai6yr Seriously... We can't maintain an app for one of the most basic features of the phone...?
Anyway, Samsung Messages is what I use, so I guess I'm looking for suggestions for a replacement now, if you know of any. 💀
W6KME@jack @ai6yr Android phones all come with Google Message installed as well as Samsung, and usually a third app from AT&T or Verizon or whoever. Verizon threw in the towel a couple of years ago.
Google is surely stealing everything we text with the Samsung and telco apps, so at least using the Google app reduces the number of megacorps using our texts.
@W6KME @ai6yr That's a fair point. And to be fair, I already use exclusively Signal for anything particularly "sensitive". But it just feels bad to have been trying to de-Google my life for so long and just add another Google service back. 😂
If there's no decent open source options, I don't see a way to NOT have SMS texting right now, so I'll relent. But still want to see what's out there.
