There’s a new Google Messages update page that takes up your phone’s entire display every time you open the app.
Granted, keeping your apps up to date is important, and this new system will help get that across to users. But we’re not sure annoying the hell out of the user about it is the best strategy.
Use Fossify SMS, QKSMS or QUIK SMS (updated fork of QKSMS)
If you’re tired of all this Google bullshit, switch to a better Android ROM like GrapheneOS or DivestOS, these don’t include any of Google’s proprietary spyware and improve your privacy/security.
