Hello, currently I use qksms but its very problematic and lacks basic fetures. One of those issues being you cant send videos, and sending and recieving media is pixalated or blurry because of a commpresion issue. I've already tried adjusting the compresion options in settings to find out it doesn't work.

What messangers do you guys/gals recommend?

If I remeber correctly the simple suite has gone to shit and has been bought out

fdroid blocked any new updates, i know it's not a good idea go use outdated apps but in that case simpletools suite dosn't require internet to be used

Fossify apps are the spiritual successor (direct fork) of the old simples. Should be on fdroid, if sms isn't there yet keep an eye out I'm sure it will be.
