I’m using the default messaging app on e/OS and it doesn’t support emoji responses. Not sure if this is a de-Google limitation or if other apps do have it. If so, any recommendations on basic SMS apps?

QKSMS has been dead for years. QUIK SMS is a revival QKSMS: https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.octoshrimpy.quik.fdroid
Thanks to both! Trying it now, at least I can receive emoji responses correctly now, not sure if I can send them
Sending them requires the proprietary RCS protocol. Only google messages and a couple others can do it. Infrastructure for RCS is owned by Google, Apple, and some carriers IIRC
It doesn’t, actually. Google Messages implemented this before Apple got RCS. It’s as simple as seeing a message come in that says " liked message" and converting it into a 👍 response for the referenced message. Unfortunately no one has followed their lead on that one.
That is why I said sending them. You can’t send reactions that people can also see without RCS. QUIK SMS converts received reactions into the proper format but still can’t send them.
