Did you have an issues with setting up and getting/receiving texts with Quik? I tried using it, using pixel 10 pro w/ gOS, but no luck - texts delay and don't see messages received even though i see them on default messaging app.
Use QKSMS, it's a successor to Quik
You got that backwards.
After looking up QKSMS, seems like it's the other way around - Quik credits QKSMS and has been most recently updated. Were you thinking of something else?
Woops, sorry, I meant other way around
But even so on my GOS I've been receiving text correctly
All good, huh that's weird. I tried reinstalling it but unfortunately it's the same results. I can send no problem but it doesn't sync to the message database - have to manually do the sync to see received messages.
I was having problems with MMS on Graphene, but it was more related to Verizon than Quik. I'd been able to solve it in the past by limiting outbound MMS size, but on my Pixel 9a nothing worked besides switching carriers. Too bad, because there was some amount of visual voicemail support with Verizon.
Ah right, I hadn't considered the carrier, that might make more sense. Though I haven't noticed issues with MMS.
Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of proprietary crap going on between Google/Apple and carriers. Maybe instead of dangerous age verification logs, our law makers could focus on untangling these messes into extensions of existing standards. Maybe throw a few new ones in, like for casting to car screens.
I have used quik for a little over two years now and don't think I have had any issues but now you got me wondering xD
I'm pretty sure mine just works as it should, I never had any issues receiving things that I'm aware of, I just installed it and forgot about it.
