Some people were asking for a private SMS app, and I thought about Silence, which development had stopped, but there appears to be something new : https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.afkanerd.deku/

For the SMS perhaps? I use matrix, signal and other things. I still ain't got rid of SMS completely. But sure adaptation is a problem

It's the same story as with PGP encrypted mail. It has existed for decades, is easy to use, but barely anyone does. It's nice that encrypted sms exists but what's the point if 99.999% don't care.

Yea it was great when signal had it built in to use insecure SMS. Easy to switch my parents to use signal since everything was there. They where not happy when signal stopped supporting it
