• Trying to reach your phone

  Just started using Messages through a browser on my PC messages.google.com/. Unless I keep my phone (S22 Ultra) screen on, I get "Trying to reach your phone" on the PC browser. Source: 5 months ago

• Is there a place to suggest software you'd like to be on the AUR? If not, let it be here!

  I've moved on to Ferdium by the way via the ferdium-electron AUR package. I also use Tuta, Skiff, Google Messages and YouTube Music with it. Source: 5 months ago

• Google Messages Mess - Apple's iPhone Message app vs Web app

  Some messages show up on my phone, but not on messages.google.com ... Some messages show up on messages.google.com but not on my phone. This morning I noticed that on a message thread between my girlfriend and me (about the less-than-important subject of our performance in Wordle this morning) everything I sent to her from the web app showed up on my web app but not on my phone, and every reply from her showed...

• Apple announces that RCS support is coming to iPhone next year

  Third-party SMS and MMS messaging apps already exist on Android, such as QKSMS,[1] Simple SMS Messenger,[2] and a large number of proprietary apps. There isn't a shred of evidence that these non-default SMS/MMS apps increase spam to any measurable extent compared to SMS/MMS apps that are preinstalled on phones.

• Signal is dropping SMS support and both QKSMS and Silence are no longer maintained. Is there a good, open source alternative? Preferably that encrypts your texts locally and allows for backups?

  The current version has not been updated since 2021 (2+ years ago). Source: about 1 year ago

• Cannot send sms without GMS

• Are there any end-to-end encrypted messaging apps that also support SMS?

  I'm thinking of switching to something like QKSMS as my default, because it looks less annoying than the stock one. However, if there are any apps that allow encrypted messages between registered users (like the old Signal) while also supporting SMS to non-registered users, then I think that would be the ideal option.
