Good Android Text App?
Good Android Text App?
The stock app converts my longer texts into a URL with broken text, which is frustrating. I used to use Signal until they dropped SMS support. Any good alternatives?

Thank you! I'll try this one Update: it works well so far
As counter intuitive as this sounds, Google Messages will be the most private SMS app. It's got a big user base so RCS usage will be pretty frequent, which means e2ee and better messaging overall. That's more private when you compare it to other SMS apps which have zero RCS. The main fault though is that RCS needs to be supported a lot better on Android.
I appreciate the insight, but I'm not making the jump based on privacy. I have an issue involving my texts (seemingly at random) converting themselves to a broken url and erasing my message. I changed apps so I can text people without worrying about my message getting removed, plus FOSS is something I support on principle
Key Messages rocks. Comes with built-in badword filter and some other nifty config.
Not open source though.
