I'm using Partisan SMS, which is also a fork of QKSMS, that manages encryption, which is a great plus. Unfortunately, it is not actively maintained and I fear it might get obsolète soon.

That's really awesome seeing people forking this incredible app :)

I’m using Partisan SMS

Can you use it without encryption as regular sms app ?

[–] Tiritibambix@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, you use it as a regular SMS app. You just can choose which conversation is encrypted. Of course, the receiver must also use PSMS.

Similar to Silence, a Signal fork that worked over SMS that I used to use. Glad to see the idea is still alive.

[–] Krafting@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Good luck on this fork, I hope it can gain traction and will continue to be alive!

[–] lascapi@jlai.lu 2 points 10 months ago

I hope too! 🙏

[–] LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Nice, I will totally use this instead, hope the development goes well 🌻

Why should I use this over Android Messages? I use the messages web version on my laptop.

[–] lascapi@jlai.lu 8 points 10 months ago

If you are concerned by privacy you should not use Google Messages because every messages passed through the Google server.

And it's not open source.

For my point of view it's too much to use it. :)

Recently discovered quick and liked it, still needs improvement but is in the right way. Using it as my daily driver.

[–] McBain@feddit.ch 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

People still use sms?

[–] Specialpatrol@feddit.uk 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

2FA codes mostly for me!

[–] McBain@feddit.ch 1 points 10 months ago

Oh yeah.. Forgot about those. I moved to hardware 2FA...

[–] lascapi@jlai.lu 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes, a lot!!!

I mean, it depends of the context probably.

[–] McBain@feddit.ch 1 points 10 months ago

👍

[–] Gargari@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's not beautiful

[–] yukiat@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

It is, and it's definitely much better than the stock one you get when you first open up your phone.
