Consider switching to Silence SMS app - https://silence.im/ . It allows you to send normal plain SMS / MMS to anyone. But if the other party also has Silence app installed, it has a neat feature where it uses Signal's encryption protocol to encrypt and send your SMS / MMS to the other party.

Hmmm, I haven't heard about this one before. Just installed it and it looks quite nice actually. Pretty snappy and configurable. I like it :)

It seems to be f-droid only though and not available on the Play Store anymore. Not that I'm too concerned about that.

Thanks for mentioning it!

It has not been updated since 2019, so I think we can declare it dead :/

If it works fine, then why does it matter if the stable codebase hasn't been updated?
