• 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.

• All my Open Source App Alternatives

  Try QKSMS it is more visually pleasing. Source: about 1 year ago

• Signal is dropping SMS support and both QKSMS and Silence are no longer maintained.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?

• Cannot send sms without GMS

  I installed this custom kernel ROM¹, disabled google services through Settings > K Settings² > Disable Google Services, rebooted phone³ and then uninstalled every google package via UAD. I use QKSMS [Github | F-Droid] now and everything works fine. Source: over 1 year ago

• 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.
