SMS messaging was the main medium of chatting in the pre-Android/ios era. Most of us used to send SMS messages through those good old Nokia feature phones. Now we have moved to the world of instant messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, etc. which provides a lot of awesome features compared to the traditional texting app. Though we use these apps more often, we still can't avoid using SMS app as it is necessary for receiving OTPs, balance alerts, etc. Apps like WhatsApp have improved a lot, but the stock SMS app hasn't received any major updates for years. Today we will introduce you to an underrated, much refined, and feature-rich app that can replace your stock SMS app!
