A good open source sms app? (kbin.social)

Hey y'all. Like the title says, I'm looking for an android sms app. I used to use signal, but they removed support for it in October last year. I switched over to qksms which has been great, except it doesn't support video, only pictures for MMS. The default app that came with my phone doesnt support group chat titles, and sms messenger from f-droid says it supports video mms, but it keeps failing to send video (despite the size being 1.4Mb). Y'all got any other suggestions?

Sending videos through MMS have always been tricky, even back in the good old days.

Instead, I can highly recommend using any chat service (examples: Telegram (bad privacy practice, though, but still one of the best out there), Session, SimpleX Chat) or a file transfer service (examples: Nextcloud, Send (fork of Firefox Send)).
