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

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

Are you thinking modern in terms of cutting edge features, or in terms of stability and a well polished modern UI ?

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.

Take a look at quik: https://github.com/octoshrimpy/quik

Its the continuation of QKSMS (which I actually still use)

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

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.
