i would recommend the use of SimpleSMS but install it on fdroid instead of the playstore, the simpletools collection was bought by a privacy-unfriendly company
If I remeber correctly the simple suite has gone to shit and has been bought out
fdroid blocked any new updates, i know it's not a good idea go use outdated apps but in that case simpletools suite dosn't require internet to be used
Fossify apps are the spiritual successor (direct fork) of the old simples. Should be on fdroid, if sms isn't there yet keep an eye out I'm sure it will be.
