Thanks

this will require sms syncing with your own DB, probably using pub/priv keys (a la ssh) for encryption/decryption.

putting more thought into this over the next week.

Have a look at kde connect: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.kde.kdeconnect_tp/ There us a SMS desktop app.. it is very simple. But basics are working...

KaKi87 commented 12 months ago

very simple

Too much simple.

No access to anything dated before first sync, no search, no deletion, no receipt indicator...

I Have used this for years. It's excellent.

Can you point to an SMS / MMS (Not RCS like google messages etc) That can do those things please? as I'm yet to find any that can do all those things while not giving away your data to some big corporate or shady entity. I don't know about Windows or Mac variants of KDE Connect but on Linux KDE Connect has search, It shows you a notification when a new message arrives. You are right that there is no deletion on Desktop. I can't comment on receipt indicator as I don't use that feature.

If there were, I would be using it, instead of asking here. 😅

Neither do I.

Linux KDE Connect has search

Search for conversations yes (and even then, only loaded ones), but no search for messages inside conversations.

PS : Google doesn't require enabling RCS to send messages on desktop, SMS/MMS are supported, since a while before RCS was deployed.

That is right. But the messages for web uses that protocol as far as I'm aware even if you just use standard sms/mms. On the server end it converts them. If I can remember where I seen the article about it I'll post it. I am not knowledgeable on all things sms/mms. But I do remember reading that is how google does it.

Adding a web server to the sms application would severely increase the attack surface.

Nobody ever said it had to be implemented that way. We just need the feature.
