Beeper is pretty good. I don’t have it mirror Signal because it kind of defeats the purpose, but works really well to unite WhatsApp, Instagram Messages, FB messages and various other ways people keep in touch with me without having to open the spammy apps involved
Wish Signal still did normal txt messages I dislike having more than one app but yeah I guess they have their reasons.
Their reasons were nonsense and I believe they simply didn’t feel like supporting SMS anymore, change my mind
Check out Beeper. It loads SMS from Google messages, and messages from WhatsApp, Signal, Facebook and Instagram messengers, discord, etc.

If you are feeling really bold you can use a self hosted matrix server bridged with signal to do what beeper does and keep everything encrypted.
It’s built on top of Matrix, which I also like. It should all be encrypted when being used in the client.
It was so nice to accidentally discover you were using encrypted messages.
They stopped coincidentally around the same time Google announced that no third party messaging apps would be allowed to use RCS.
meh i use QuikSMS (FDroid) for the very occasional SMS I receive (2FA etc), i haven’t sent an SMS in a decade or more. Fuck RCS
I use Signal for messaging.
