Sometimes it fails to send MMS messages but does not notify the user when this happens. Edit: I think the failure may have something to do with the "Resize sent MMS images" option. But I'm not sure. Regardless, it doesn't notify me when the failure occurs. From my POV, it appears to have sent successfully (it even shows the double checkmark underneath) but the recipient does not receive the message. Hope you guys can figure it out. Good luck!

Works well. It's definitely a simplified SMS app, but that makes it easy to use. There are a couple features it's missing, but I rarely used them anyway. I suggest getting the entire suite of "Simple" apps. They work well, and are easy to use. I have a few (small) gripes, but overall the "Simple" apps are the best I've found without the privacy issues of their competitors.

SMS Messenger was working great at first, but when I got the Android 11 update, the app stopped showing my private contact names and now just shows phone numbers. I use Simple Contacts to manage my contact list, and this was the only app that could display those names on my SMS messages. Since it doesn't do that anymore, I've reluctantly switched back to the phone's built-in messaging app. I can't see my contact names anyway, I might as well use the app with more features.
