FutileRecipe , 5 months ago to Privacy in what are your recommendations for a good privacy friendly sms app?

Since SMS is already sent in the clear, I actually use Google Messages. For those who also have it, it upgrades the SMS to RCS with end-to-end encryption. Sure, it's nowhere near as good as Signal (which OP says these people won't use), but it's better than plain-text SMS.

Specifically, the plug-ins are using our services in an unauthorized manner, which is causing significant economic harm to our Company.

How does this cause them "significant economic harm?" My immediate thought is they are losing out on data or ads, hence it being a privacy concern.

Lawnchair, according to the devs, is not abandoned. In late November (of 2023), they said:

Sorry for the long break in Lawnchair announcements.

We have made significant progress in regards to Lawnchair development, and we are now actually developing Lawnchair 13 (with A13 QuickSwitch support) and custom-made no-root global search. Stay tuned for more updates and sneak peeks.

Coming soon to a lawnmower near you™

(And no, we are not dead. Also No ETAs.)

Then in December:

Hello again!

This time around, we are now developing Lawnchair 14 (with A14 QuickSwitch support). Alongside that, we are also re-adding an option to Hide Dock and options for custom Feed Providers, alongside other new features (we wont give too many spoilers 👀)

We also plan to support QuickSwitch for Android 11 to Android 14, so you can use Lawnchair with QuickSwitch on all your recent devices. (We will prioritize A12.1 to A14 first though).

(As always, No ETAs)
