The reasoning makes sense, but that’s going to take a while to get used to lol. I’ve used Signal as my SMS app for years at this point. Does anyone have recommendations for a good messaging app for android?

Edit: I think I used Textra before Signal, is that still good?

I use Textra+ signal now. Used Textra since I’ve had a phone that can download apps, but I’m honestly unsure of any sort of merits or reasons to use it besides having used it for this long

I’m kind of torn between Textra for the features or the Google messages app for the RCS support. In either case, gotta wait for the export option before I switch

When I used it, it was good.
