Comments on Fossify Messages for Android

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜† K T ยท May 1, 2026
Almost a perfect replacement for Samsung messages after purchasing the "Thank You" app. Only thing I'm missing is being able to search within a text message or group. I have encountered some issues with large group messages, especially if the sender is using google messenger, but otherwise great SMS app. Hopefully with Samsung messages being discontinued this app will get the support it needs to work out the minor bugs.

When I was notified Samsung Messages would stop service in a month, I didn't want to settle for the recommended replacement & loaded Ossify open source trusted app. When I started Ossify messages it automatically pulled my messages & contacts from Samsung Msgs. Easy install & easy to use
โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜† Marie Cullifer ยท May 26, 2026
Very glitchy. Many of my texts never get received but still show I sent on my end. Every message I text in groups texts goes individually to every person in that group text
โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜†โ˜† Phone Account ยท Jun 9, 2026
Scheduled send didn't work and message disappeared. Using group in contacts to send messages returns error messages that disappear before can take a screenshot. Message not shown in normal list. No way to save images received. A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT!
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†โ˜† El Aleman ยท Jun 13, 2026
When using as default, it leaves out half of my text messages out. Example: I have a text conversation of 10 entries. It only shows 5. I have also noticed that any text after April 28 of this year 2026 does not show. I have deleted and reinstalled as suggested everywhere... still the same !! I'm still using Samsung messages as default. I refuse being pushed to Google messages
