Looking for FOSS SMS app recommendations. (Android 14) (lemmy.world)

Looking for a FOSS SMS app that is fully compatible with Android 14. I've had issues with finding one, I used to use (I think) QKSMS, but it started to crash when I upgraded to LOS 21. Now I just use the LineageOS SMS app, I think it is AOSP messages.

What SMS apps do you use? No required features. Scheduled texts are nice, though.

So is QUIK FOSS? Because I just installed it, I used to use Textra. I like the features of it.

I'm kinda new to this, so I was just wondering.

Yes it is FOSS just like the other recommendations in my other comment.

At 60MB it is pretty bloated for an SMS app though, so I would prefer something simpler like Fossify Contacts, or something with encryption like Deku SMS

Thanks. I understand the bloated part, but personally for me, coming from Textra, it's comparable to what I had, minus the trackers

Haha, okay then... what features do you find so useful?

For example timed messages... I dont use SMS at all XD

If I do, I would prefer DekuSMS as it has AES encryption so at least you are not spied on (if both use DekuSMS)
