As of 110724, Verizon is shutting down messages+. They recommend Google messages.
Does anyone have a better recommendation? I do not use google for mail, or anything else.
Thanks in advance
signal.org
Google is at the top of the evil list avoid any contact with them.
What device do you have?
Great question. I just realized all my text messages are sent and received over Google. Or Gulagle or whatever their name is.
Bump.
Never trust Google... I've been saying that for twenty years..
I got the same message....
Argggggh.
.
They just love CHANGE-——
JUST to keep one Agitated.
Well, if it is an Android phone, Google can access pretty much anything anyway. So it’s not like you are giving up any privacy by letting them read your texts. There’s a Facebook alternative if you would like to have them read the messages. Then there is that foreign one, Telegram, that is operated out of a Muslim country and was created by Russians.
I ended up just going with Google. I’ve downloaded it but not activated it yet.
are you implying signal.org is owned by google, or something else?
Signal for messages
Proton for email
I have Samsung phone so switched to Samsung messages. I like it better!
Does this affect how people send text messages if you have Verizon?
