People don't trust the government all the time, they are a bunch of sneaky buggers you know.

Labour MP's need to put their grown up pants on and work for the people instead of being emotional about a platform.

I'm merely responding to his post. Maybe he's in the US?

There are plenty of alternatives to the native SMS Texting app, for Example Quik SMS - no trackers and it's very smooth.

Also for secured messaging - there is Signal, and they are top Dog in that end.

Whatscrap is just a platform for Meta to scan your messages and make customized ads for you.

I 100 percent agree about the insecurity. Deku is on F Droid?

[–] thesocavault@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Yes. I have friends who solely rely on SMS. Best is when they try to send a video.

2 main features - the ability to make the texts bigger by percentage. So I was able to make the texts about 125 percent bigger. The other main feature was to have a media picker integrated into the app when sending a picture ect.

Also a bonus was having Giphy integrated as well, but I know that definitely has trackers involved.

But overall I do like Quik.

Thanks. I understand the bloated part, but personally for me, coming from Textra, it's comparable to what I had, minus the trackers

I'm kinda new to this, so I was just wondering.

So is QUIK FOSS? Because I just installed it, I used to use Textra. I like the features of it.

If you have a SD card you are installing them on, copy them directly to the SD and then put that in the phone. Also, disconnects I feel have to do with the quality of the USB cable.
