Samsung is retiring it’s messages app, and I don’t want to install Google messages to replace it.
What apps are you using instead and what do you like or hate about them?
Edit: thank you for the suggestions :) This is more options than I was expecting!


I’ve been using Fossify Messages. Pretty bare-bones, but does the job since I don’t use SMS too much. I’m glad that it can intercept the Class 0 messages that my carrier uses for billing so it doesn’t occupy my whole screen every time I call or text.
I only use SMS/MMS when I do 2auth or a carrier wants to spam me with shortcodes for top-up and promos and I fall for. Other than that, I don’t use it at all. Fossify fit the bill for a clean, easy app that doesn’t glean personal info every time I receive/send a message.
