Modern SMS App?

What's the most modern SMS app available? It can be only on Github too as I use Obtanium. I'm hoping for something with rounded corners and a more Apple-esc appearance.

the three I know of are ConnectYou, Fossify SMS, and QuikSMS

- Fossify and QKSMS both aren't very modern in my opinion. Connect You I'll have to give a better look. Their F-Droid page pictures aren't too detailed but may be decent. Thank you

  Just curious, what makes you say that?

Are you thinking modern in terms of cutting edge features, or in terms of stability and a well polished modern UI ?

- Or modern in terms of "looking like what everyone else has"?

- The latter. My primary focus is the UI

- Can you suggest one with cutting edge features? As of now I am using Microsoft's SMS organizer. As much as Iove open source apps, I have not been able to find one that will sort the messages neatly into different tabs or automatically detect spam.

I'd keep my eye on Deku SMS, their development has been slow but steady.

- Thanks! That one does look more rounded and easy to look at. I'll give it a shot

Take a look at quik: https://github.com/octoshrimpy/quik

Its the continuation of QKSMS (which I actually still use)

Has to be something including RCS. For all Google's faults, I like Messages.

That said, I haven't tried to back them up in a while to a straight text file. Eeek! That was back in the days when I used Signal to handle SMS for me.

Damn. Another task.

Try Textra. Many customization options, but in regards to advanced features, it's an SMS App, although it does have the ability to undo a delete after a few seconds

- Unless I'm mistaken that's not a FOSS app and also contains many trackers. I'm not trying to be rude with this comment, I came to the F-Droid community to find FOSS apps that don't track their users.

  Is there an app that shows if there are trackers in it?
