      I’ve been using it. It’s decent and basic. The only enhancement is that it doesn’t do anything annoying.

      The basicness is the enhancement. This is an app suite for people who call desktop environments bloat. I’ve been using gallery and notes for years :3

        I know the corporations might have gotten to you but believe it or not there are sophisticated, modern apps that don’t have bloat.

          Are there any particular messaging apps fitting this description that you’d recommend?

            This is entirely the wrong community for this answer, but I’ve used the pro version of Textra for 10 years now. One time payment (10 years ago), updates every few months, lots of features, but they don’t get in your way if you don’t need them.

            The main feature I use is “delay send for 5 seconds” to allow me to catch all my spelling and grammatical errors after I hit send , but the rest of the UI is pretty well thought out.

            One of the very few commercial Android apps that I’d recommend to someone.

              This is what I use as well. Except I didn’t pay for it, I just denied internet access to the app and the ads went away 😅 but there are many others.

      Simpler is better in many cases. I have been using this messaging app for about a year now and I have been totally fine with it. It does what it says and it never connects to the internet unlike some Google ones.
