why would you want or need a separate SMS/MMS application on your phone in the first place?
Well yeah, I didn't consider those points, especially the last with android distros not all come with gapps.
Default app sucks.
I use OpenContacts, it has its own database so nothing else can access it.
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.
I was hoping more people would use RCS but I guess SMS will probably be the old fax machine in the future.
