Any replacement for Verizon's dumped text messaging app? I don't want google.

[93RC]

I have a motorola_moto_g_power_(2021) bought from a verizon store. The app that came with it was called Message Plus. It was shut down 12/9/24. I can no longer group text. I do not want to replace it with the google message app. Is there any other choice out there for me? Thank you very much for reading.

If you want RCS? Not really. BeeperLite but still uses Google to achieve RCS. Basic text messaging, 100's of options and probably 50 threads on here.

If you don't care about RCS, then Textra has always been a popular 3rd party SMS app around here.
