What's the most modern SMS app available? It can be only on Github too as I use Obtanium. I'm hoping for something with rounded corners and a more Apple-esc appearance.

the three I know of are ConnectYou, Fossify SMS, and QuikSMS

Fossify and QKSMS both aren't very modern in my opinion. Connect You I'll have to give a better look. Their F-Droid page pictures aren't too detailed but may be decent. Thank you

I used to use Google messages .but then they started showing ads so I switched to fossify sms😀

Just curious, what makes you say that?

Fossify is very blocky. QKSMS or QUIK seem to have the most modern UI with some curves but overall it still has the generic Android vibes

MMS not supported by ConnectYou

Are you thinking modern in terms of cutting edge features, or in terms of stability and a well polished modern UI ?
sic_semper_tyrannis@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 2y
The latter. My primary focus is the UI

Or modern in terms of "looking like what everyone else has"?

Can you suggest one with cutting edge features? As of now I am using Microsoft's SMS organizer. As much as Iove open source apps, I have not been able to find one that will sort the messages neatly into different tabs or automatically detect spam.

Thanks! That one does look more rounded and easy to look at. I'll give it a shot

Take a look at quik: https://github.com/octoshrimpy/quik
Its the continuation of QKSMS (which I actually still use)

Has to be something including RCS. For all Google's faults, I like Messages.
That said, I haven't tried to back them up in a while to a straight text file. Eeek! That was back in the days when I used Signal to handle SMS for me.
Damn. Another task.

Try Textra. Many customization options, but in regards to advanced features, it's an SMS App, although it does have the ability to undo a delete after a few seconds

Unless I'm mistaken that's not a FOSS app and also contains many trackers. I'm not trying to be rude with this comment, I came to the F-Droid community to find FOSS apps that don't track their users.
thesocavault@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Is there an app that shows if there are trackers in it?
Protoman64@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 2y
Yes, I use App Manager. On APKs chose open as, app manager, scan. If the app is already installed you can also use the scanner option
sic_semper_tyrannis@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 2y
The Exodus Privacy website does and it's feature is built into the Aurora store
thesocavault@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
I have this app, it just won't go past a certain letter on my phone, so only apps a to F show up.
But in theory, isn't there a way to remove the tracking scripts from the APK?
sic_semper_tyrannis@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 2y
Try the website instead of the app then. Removing tracking scripts is above my knowledge level
thesocavault@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y
Mine too. Lol. But is there an app / service that would scan APK's before you install?
sic_semper_tyrannis@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 2y
Aurora Store does as long as the app has already been put on Exodus
