Looking for a FREE lightweight texting app

[RASelkirk]

Hi All,

Went from an LG G6 to a Samsung A54 over T-Mobile, the factory messaging app sucks! DL'ed a half dozen off Play Store so far, some look good but all have very intrusive ads. My LG factory app was perfect enough that I tried to "APK it" in there, obviously a no-go. I don't really want my phone and texting on the same app, too hard for an old guy to keep straight. Does either Samsung or T-Mobile have a decent texting app that doesn't cost $$$ or slam ads? Or any other recommendations appreciated!

Thanks!

Russ

I've used Textra since forever.
Highly customizable in font size, bubble colors and themes. Used it for free then paid for it. Worth every penny.

I thought it was preloaded but I'm not seeing it now. I feel Googled to death, but if I get desperate I'll check it out

Thanks. I just DL'ed app (about) #10, "Chomp" and it's behaving well so far...
