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!

The Fossify suite has a messages app. Available on Fdroid. No internet access, no trackers.

It's not as polished visually as the mainstream apps but works absolutely fine.
