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.

    That compared to Quik?

    Quik is huge, 60MB for an SMS app… in my eyes it tries to do too much, like integration of random other protocols.

    I used DekuSMS because of that but it doesnt allow texting phone numbers and Exodus shows it has a tracker

      Oh wow I hadn’t heard of Quik! What other protocols does it integrate? Not much info on their repo.

            Yes it is FOSS just like the other recommendations in my other comment.

            At 60MB it is pretty bloated for an SMS app though, so I would prefer something simpler like Fossify Contacts, or something with encryption like Deku SMS

              Thanks. I understand the bloated part, but personally for me, coming from Textra, it’s comparable to what I had, minus the trackers

                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)
