Hi. I wanted to replace my stock SMS app and was wondering which app is likely more suitable for use. Fossify is receiving more development and is more light weight yet most people that I’ve seen recommend QKSMS as it has more features. Any opinions? Thanks.

I’ve never used Fossify SMS, so I can’t really comment on it, but I’ve been using QKSMS as my default messenger for a few years now and I quite like it. The feature that keeps me on QKSMS is exporting and importing text messages. It’s a godsend when you’re changing phones.

Does anyone know of a FOSS app that groups messages into tabs? Similar to what SMS organizer does?

To my knowledge QKSMS/Quik tries to do something way bigger, like multiple protocols.

I recommend DekuSMS. They have AES encryption for people both using the app, and it just works well.

So it seems qksms isn’t being maintained, but also I’ve been using it since signal dropped sms support, and it’s been zero problems for me
