Are there any (preferably FOSS) RCS/SMS/MMS apps as an alternative to Google Messages? I can’t convince anyone to switch to signal and would like to at least use an app that I trust. Eventually I’ll be moving to a privacy-respecting mobile OS so I’ll need an SMS app to run without Google Play Services, but I don’t want to totally miss out on RCS. Are there any alternatives? Is this even possible?

      Google Messages RCS constantly fucks up and doesn’t send or receive shit anyway. I also want something else because ever since they introduced that shit, I get texts late if I get them at all, and nobody else seems to get mine.

      I don’t give a fuck about anything other than having the main purpose of the app do what it’s fucking supposed to do.

      RCS is better than SMS, though. Like I said, I can’t convince anyone to switch platforms. RCS is the best I can get.
