Silence alternative or updated versions (supporting arm64)
I would like to use Silence to encrypt my SMS, but the app isn't updated and doesn't support arm64 (I have a Pixel 7).

Why do people still use facebook even after the billions of dollars in fines?
LOL, I had in mind a more E2E sms solution. I saw this in Fdroid but have not experimented with it. but it might be the low bar my contacts can accept to stay in touch with me

My first answer was https://silence.im/. However it seems to be semi abandoned and unmaintained.

Signal alternative?
I have yet to find anything roughly compatable that also seems to be in active development. Slience looks like it but doesnt seem to be really active at all.

The only tool that I know of that can encrypt SMS messages is Silence. The source code is quite stale.

Signal replacement app for SMS on Android?
This will not help unless everyone has silence.im installed. And in that case, why not just ask them to add signal and skip a step?

There's also Silence, which is a fork of Signal from back when it used to be TextSecure. It only does SMS.

Are there any messaging apps that don't need Sim
Yes it is. It is also abandoned, last update was 3.5 years ago and it looks like their site has an expired cert. Rip TextSecure

Which version of Signal introduced SMS nags?
This is the only fork that I know of that is supposed to keep SMS support. As of today not much in there, not even a compiled apk. Nagging of the Signal app is annoying, but I can live with it, I just hope this fork, or another fork supporting SMS, is ready to use when Signal finally removes the feature.
