Need a replacement messaging app for Samsung
(thelemmy.club)
Trying to ditch Google messages without success. I hung onto the old Samsung app forever but it is super buggy for me. I tried to switch to textra, bought the paid version, but keep getting this "MMS timeout" message so idk if im not getting or sending messages correctly. Have tried all the fixes i found online to no avail. So, is there any real, decent alternative to Google messages?
Except it's closed down and cannot be used by non-Google apps. Not an issue with the protocol itself, but that's the reality on Android. Let alone iOS.
It can absolutely be used on iOS. In fact, it's already partially implemented and iOS is about to roll out end to end encryption in RCS as well.
Granted I don't use iOS so I might have missed it, but can you give an example of a third party texting app that can use RCS on iOS?
I thought the situation is the same as on Android - third party apps can only use SMS, not RCS.
