Looking for FOSS SMS app recommendations. (Android 14) (lemmy.world)

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.

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 100 percent agree about the insecurity. Deku is on F Droid?

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.
