With simple messager selling out & qksms no longer being actively worked on. What’s our options for open source sms messagers?

Should I dedicate time to learning flutter and building my own or does anyone know any cool foss projects working on this issue?

        You don’t x)

        More seriously, in these cases, I often rely on emails instead. But I don’t really use group chats a lot (even with my contacts that are on Signal), nor send many files, so it’s not features I really miss. And SMS works with everyone, so it’s always my default if the contact isn’t on Signal.

        Group chats work over SMS. I use cloud links for large files or just SMS/MMS for pictures and you just live with the low quality if texting with an iPhone user.

          SMS doesn’t have group chats does it? Unless your client is just sending the same message to everyone and grouping together the responses?

            I mean, maybe? I’ve used group texts with every sms client on every android smartphone I’ve ever used. Don’t know how it works on the backend.

        It has never occurred to me to do either of those things, and apparently hasn’t to anyone I’m in contact with either.

        Though I don’t use group chats or send files in Signal either, so there’s that.
