why would you want or need a separate SMS/MMS application on your phone in the first place?
You might want more control of how the app looks. Or maybe an app has some UI features you like.
I used Textra for years, but did eventually switch back to the default android messenger when I started encountering issues.
What issues? I have used for.. I don't even know. Feels like since my first smart phone. Never had issues.
I don't really remember now, but I think it was something to do with having issues sending images.
