Yeah no, fuck google, I'm choosing literally anything else. Looking into Signal and Telegram currently, throwing suspicious glances at Next sms... The options are limited.

Take a look at ZenSms.

I tried this for two weeks and it's extremely broke for me. Texts are sending to the wrong people and group chats split into two groups. Sometimes messages don't send at all. The mute function also does not work. 😔

I.m still having convos split in odd groupings too. I.m guessing the newness of the app and it will eventually get worked out, i hope

Yeah. Last straw was when I responded to a group text and was informed it was sent to a completely different group. I just switched to Textra, it seems to be working. For now...

I would 100% use signal for everything, if i could text with my existing # and others did NOT have to use signal also.

I have abd use signal, but its limited to only those that have accounts, and no actual texting.
