Looking for a FOSS SMS app that is fully compatible with Android 14. I’ve had issues with finding one, I used to use (I think) QKSMS, but it started to crash when I upgraded to LOS 21. Now I just use the LineageOS SMS app, I think it is AOSP messages.

What SMS apps do you use? No required features. Scheduled texts are nice, though.

    Haha, okay then… what features do you find so useful?

    For example timed messages… I dont use SMS at all XD

    If I do, I would prefer DekuSMS as it has AES encryption so at least you are not spied on (if both use DekuSMS)

      2 main features - the ability to make the texts bigger by percentage. So I was able to make the texts about 125 percent bigger. The other main feature was to have a media picker integrated into the app when sending a picture ect.

      Also a bonus was having Giphy integrated as well, but I know that definitely has trackers involved.

      But overall I do like Quik.

            Crazy… I would really encourage to use DekuSMS then. It also has picture support and encrypted SMS if both use the app and opt in to encryption.

            Otherwise SMS is insecure as hell.

                I get it over Obtainium and it is also on F-Droid? What question is that? 😅 just look?

                Also as an F-Droid client, if you use something newer than Android 13, use “F-Droid Basic” which is written for the modern features.
