Silence alternative or updated versions (supporting arm64)
It has very bad broken encryption: https://github.com/wrwrabbit/Partisan-SMS/issues/47
- SMS Removal Megathread
- Signal is dropping SMS support and both QKSMS and Silence are no longer maintained. Is there a good, open source alternative? Preferably that encrypts your texts locally and allows for backups?

SIM Registration = More government surveillance
Silence has not been updated in years and can't handle dual sims. Instead you can try: https://github.com/wrwrabbit/Partisan-SMS but you should get off of SMS.
-
Is Qksms still actively maintained ?
Not secure: https://github.com/wrwrabbit/Partisan-SMS/issues/47
-
Is there any other SMS app with similar or better UI to QKSMS?
P sms actively maintained fork of qksms....same ui with encryption feature...you have to deal with pop up of encryption key msg everytime you open the app though...dev. issue is already there is turn off encryption feature so hope they will impliment that....

Signal: The Pqxdh Key Agreement Protocol
* marketing "Perfect Forward Secrecy" AKA "Forward Secrecy"[0].
I favor Session Private Messenger[1] because it is decentralized and allows third party clients, but Signal enthusiasts warn me that the Session client may, hypothetically, at some future date, integrate a cryptocurrency, as the Signal client already does[2].

U.K. Abandons, for Now, Legislation That Would Have Banned End-to-End Encryption
If you have a mobile phone number, the domestic intelligence agency knows exactly where you are at all times and any LEO (without a warrant) can also find you. In addition, there have been numerous CCC presentations showing how insecure the global (excluding US) and (separately) US carriers are guilty of promiscuous metadata trafficking ($$) and insecure SS7 setups. As a consequence, for low $, you can go to any one of several shady websites and find the last location of almost any phone number (person unique ID) globally. There are additional varying exploitable vulnerabilities depending on the exact combination of {handset x carrier x country} to impersonate them, tap their line, reveal their exact location, and redirect their phone number through a third-party handset or even a PBX. These are more expensive and some capabilities are forbidden for all but a few selective intelligence uses.
Session (Signal fork) doesn't use phone numbers. It's pretty well-designed overall and uses an onion routing approach. It's already a superset of Signal except it doesn't use phone numbers. https://getsession.org

PS: Using regular TOR on home broadband or cloud servers is relatively risky and inefficient. Sybil attacks on it are common. And to network operators and security agencies it gives an easy "flow tag" of your uplink and exit node data traffic as automatically suspicious.
