Wild question I never thought I'd be asking, anyone know a stripped down SMS app I can use instead of the default?
I don't want to see AI features and I don't wanna participate in helping anyone build a LLM
My recommandation, stop using SMS
Switch to E2EE chats
I've tried, but literally everyone else I know absolutely hard refuses to switch to Signal. So, L I guess.
And here is the exact reason Signal dropping SMS was a terrible decision.
Yup. That's the whole reason I kept using signal. I got 2 or 3 people to start using it while the rest stayed on sms. It kept all my other SMS messages in the same app. So it was seamless to transition between one or the other depending on who used what.
I actually quit using signal when it could no longer be my SMS app, just because it became too much of an annoyance to remember which people did and didn't use signal.
