Trying to ditch Google messages without success. I hung onto the old Samsung app forever but it is super buggy for me. I tried to switch to textra, bought the paid version, but keep getting this "MMS timeout" message so idk if im not getting or sending messages correctly. Have tried all the fixes i found online to no avail. So, is there any real, decent alternative to Google messages?
Any special features you're looking for? Fossify messages works fine for me, and it supports both SMS and MMS. In fact, the entire Fossify suite of apps works really well in general.
Fossify messages work quite well.
I like Quik SMS.
Textra doesn't support RCS yet either so even if you don't use RCS, that's one reason it's not a full replacement. There really is nothing comprehensive right now that will give you all of the features, as far as I'm aware.
I'm in the same boat as you. Used Textra and Mighty Text years back but want to try swapping back. Doesn't seem like anything can compete with the robust features Messages has right now, unfortunately....
QUIK, Fossify messenger, Right Messages.
QUIK SMS (dev.octoshrimpy.quik.fdroid) from F-Droid
