Verizon is stopping support for message+ and says to just use Google messenger. Fuck that I hate Google, can anyone suggest an app I can use to just text people and send pictures that works on and offline?

    I don’t think any of the recommendations here are even close to what OP is asking for… QUIK from my understanding is just a replacement SMS app, it does not “sync messages to other devices” or allow you to send SMS messages via your phone from other devices, nor does it have a desktop/web version, all of which is what Message+ does. Pretty sure this requires a self-hosted server to do (or a third-party proprietary service like MightyText).

    SmsMatrix, KDEConnect/GSConnect, Nextcloud Talk are some examples that will do this.
