I got tired of Google shoving AI down my throat in yet another place in my phone.

I’m surprised it even gave me the choice to “report and block”.

    Is there a better SMS app on android? I tried switching to a FOSS app but I was missing messages and group messages completely didn’t work, so I went back to Google’s app.

      Signal used to be the best but they dropped SMS/MMS ages ago, and group texts are historically awful over SMS/MMS, especially when one or more users in that group have iMessage. I would either switch to Signal and get your friends to Switch, use Fossify Messages (very basic SMS/MMS client), or deal with the shithole that is the G app suite. I’m on signal personally, I only use SMS for verification codes at this point.

      Mmmmm gotta get hated buuut…SMS Organizer by Microsoft. It’s in beta, but it works and works well.

      Only thing that bugs me is I didn’t find search feature…

        No, it’s genuinely good, at least for now. My only issue I’ve experienced is that it would go to sleep and I wouldn’t get notifications anymore.

        I switched to QUIKand have been pretty happy. It’s not perfect, but it does what I need it to.

          Had that problem on my last device! Did all I could to prevent it, but nothing worked. Currently on samsung galaxy s8+ it just works, is not interrupted at all.

      That’s something I’d like to find too. I’ve been using Textra Pro for years, but I have yet to find a FOSS alternative that rivals it
