Hayalci HayalciFluffyChat Doesn't have SMS capabilities.
Marcus HollowayYet another app listed as an alternative to a SMS text messaging app, which doesn't have SMS text messaging capabilities. This app is probably excellent, but it's a poor alternative to traditional text messaging apps when it does not support SMS.
This alternative is disputed. FluffyChat is a legitimate Google Messages alternative, but it might have issues that some users think are important.
