Has anyone found a truly basic SMS app for Android?
One that doesn't try to feed my text to 'AI' to snoop it and suggest childish replies, or crowd the screen suggesting stupid emojis?

I just want to read plaint text, and reply in plain text, and if I want a smiley I'll send colon, hyphen, right-banana the same as I did in the 1990s :-)

Any Android suggestions, please?

Newly Registered Domains Distributing SpyNote Malware

Cybercriminals are employing deceptive websites on newly registered domains to distribute AndroidOS SpyNote malware. These sites imitate the Google Chrome install page on the Google Play Store, tricking users into downloading SpyNote, a powerful Android remote access trojan. SpyNote is used for surveillance, data exfiltration, and remote control of infected devices. The investigation uncovered multiple domains, IP addresses, and APK files associated with this campaign. The malware utilizes various C2 endpoints for communication and data exfiltration, with functions designed to retrieve and manipulate device information, contacts, SMS, and applications.

If you have a Notebook with an embedded WWAN device (GSM/LTE/5G) and want to quickly send a SMS message, there is a way to do this with mmcli (ModemManager CLI):

1st: List the available modem devices:

$ mmcli list

2nd: Sent the SMS via an available modem (in my case moden no. 0):

$ mmcli -m 0 --messaging-create-sms="text='Hello world',number='+1XXXXXXXXXX"

Messaging | created sms: /org/freedesktop/ModemManager1/SMS/7

3rd: Use the ID of the message and send it to the ether:

$ mmcli -m 0 --sms 7 --send
successfully sent the SMS

That's it. You can also read incoming SMS with mmcli by listing them with "mmcli -m 0 --messaging-list-sms" and then reading the invidual messages by their ID with "mmcli -m 0 --sms ID --send"
