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.

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)

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.
