    why would you want or need a separate SMS/MMS application on your phone in the first place?

      1. You don’t like the Google app
      2. You don’t want to use Google apps out of principle
      3. You’re using a version of Android where Google apps are not installed by default, so you need to install something

        Well yeah, I didn’t consider those points, especially the last with android distros not all come with gapps.

      You might want more control of how the app looks. Or maybe an app has some UI features you like.

      I used Textra for years, but did eventually switch back to the default android messenger when I started encountering issues.

      For Google photos/Contacts in particular, the gallery app was good because it would constantly ask to sync photos to the cloud.
