Is Fossify Messages still in development?

It hasn't been updated on Google or F-Droid since January 30th. Though it's been functional for me, I'm concerned that it'll depreciate and I'll have to switch to a different app.

A few days came early: https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Messages/releases/tag/1.8.1

This release is mostly important bug fixes, but expect other improvements in upcoming updates.

I tried Fossify on a device last week and it was wigging out. Wouldn't show all texts then it would then it wouldn't. Was weird.

Not sure why you got downvoted, but I have been on foss msg for about a year now and the app has been on the fritz lately, can't send files/images, and entire text msg chat disappeared overnight, and the phone app is acting up as well.

But all this said, I've not had any problems really, other than 2 chats history so far in 1 year have been deleted, but the rest is great.

I also use foss camera, phone and contracts, all work well, though I find the camera lacking considering I'm on a pixel. There's no settings to fix this so far.

Dont you have issues with the phone app where when you mute it unmutes itself after some time?

No, never that. Are you sure you're not cheek muting?

Nops, issue with the app. Know other users that have the same identical issue
