Any FOSS SMS apps that support reactions? I want to stop using Google's "Messages" app. QUIK SMS doesn't support them.

How can you send a reaction via SMS when the protocol does not support this feature.

Presumably they're talking about RCS

I would think OP just means "text messaging" and doesn't actually care about the protocol used.

Ohh like a combined app that Signal used to be, but never the less, reactions wouldn't work with SMS based chats

Ok then, Signal makes more sense.

There is a Signal FOSS that forked from Signal which has reactions.

But it's not SMS anymore, unfortunately

But SMS does not support any reactions other than the original basic ones.

Yes, but the request was explicitly for an SMS app. But yeah anything SMS is just text. It's an outdated protocol.

The forked one still does SMS.

projectmoon@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y

Can you link the fork? There's several and I wasn't aware that one did SMS still!

I would love it if there is a Signal fork that keeps media downloaded in an easily accessible directory.

I don't know of any FOSS SMS apps with this feature, but there is an open issue in Quik's github repo requesting that feature.

Please leave it a thumbs up if that's something you would like to see added. https://github.com/octoshrimpy/quik/issues/152
