I am looking to replace my phones text message client with something better. I am trying to make my phone clean, minimalist and less addicting (degoogling too). I even installed Niagara launcher, to give an idea of the kind of aesthetic I am looking for. Is there anything out there folks reccomend? Bonus points if its ethical and pro-privacy.

      I’ve been using the Fossify messenger for a while it is is largely fine. It does not offer proper reaction support, showing “🤣 to ‘MESSAGE’” or some such, and it doesn’t offer to copy authentication codes from a notification. Other than that, it works well.

        and it doesn’t offer to copy authentication codes from a notification.

        It actually does have that now 🙂👍

          I don’t want to naysay you, but I have yet to see that in practice. Is that fairly recently added or in an upcoming release that isn’t on F-Droid yet? I’d love to know more!

            I’m using 1.6.0 off f-droid on a rooted phone (not sure if that matters).

            It works just like textra where the notification has a button to copy the code.
