why would you want or need a separate SMS/MMS application on your phone in the first place?
-
- You don't like the Google app
- You don't want to use Google apps out of principle
- You're using a version of Android where Google apps are not installed by default, so you need to install something
-
Well yeah, I didn't consider those points, especially the last with android distros not all come with gapps.
-
Default app sucks.
-
I use OpenContacts, it has its own database so nothing else can access it.
-
You might want more control of how the app looks. Or maybe an app has some UI features you like.
I used Textra for years, but did eventually switch back to the default android messenger when I started encountering issues.

What issues? I have used for.. I don't even know. Feels like since my first smart phone. Never had issues.
-
I don't really remember now, but I think it was something to do with having issues sending images.

For Google photos/Contacts in particular, the gallery app was good because it would constantly ask to sync photos to the cloud.
-
I was hoping more people would use RCS but I guess SMS will probably be the old fax machine in the future.
