There does not seem to be really any good FOSS SMS apps. I really like the UI of Simple SMS by SimpleMobileTools but the group chats are so glitchy that I have no clue how that application is anyhing but an alpha release. Is there anything similar to Simple SMS that works? I know QKSMS got abandoned

      Clearly you are missing something of you trust Google Play to have the latest version of any FOSS apps. No idea why they didn’t update that there until now, but this is not the measure to take.

      This here is on F-Droid 1000010495

      January this year. Now maybe thats the prerelease you talk about, I don’t know, but it can be installed without any additional settings in Droid-ify and the source is not the Izzy repo.

        Google Play has nothing to do with it. The developer didn’t submit it to Google Play, as it’s not a final stable release build.

        You’re running a pre-release.
