How to explore writing an app for ipfs with rust?
Not written in Rust, but may be Berty can give you some ideas?

Daily General Discussion - February 22, 2023
Berty is an open source, secure, private, censorship resilient messaging protocol. Berty is designed to work with NO internet connection. Thanks to Bluetooth LE and mDNS, messages can be securely and privately relayed, peer to peer to create an adhoc network. Of course old fashioned networks still work, and if you’re connected to a “hostile” network that’s being surveilled, the Berty protocol can still operate safely and securely thanks to e2e encryption. Super nice!
- So there's no online messaging service that's private, anonymous and secure?

Berty: The privacy-first messaging app
Well, in fact they have a CLI client ( that I haven't tested ) [1] and their site says they're going to be available also for Mac, Windows and Linux.

Recovering from saved sqlite database
I accidentally my whole phone. I do have a Titanium Backup of Simple SMS Messenger, from which I can extract the conversations.db. However, when I launch the app, it replaces the conversations. I do not have an export. I would like a method of merging / importing the old conversations from the database. I'm techy and can write SQL, Python, etc. I've had a quick look at the exporter to see if I can replicate the JSON format of the exported conversations. But I thought I might ask in case anyone here has already solved this or has better advice. Cheers!

Finally ditched almost all proprietary apps and hosted my own home server for media streaming and files/photo sharing. (Still using WhatsApp, Classroom and some food ordering apps though)

I wasn't impressed with Simple SMS, the devs are a bit slow to fix issues such as the one i reported.
