Samsung is retiring it's messages app, and I don't want to install Google messages to replace it.

What apps are you using instead and what do you like or hate about them?

Edit: thank you for the suggestions :) This is more options than I was expecting!

Love Textra. Simple does what it supposed to and has per contact color coding for messages, can block numbers and set delayed outgoing messages per contact too. Displays MMS, pictures adnd reactions for Apple as expected.
