Okay, I see. Looks like you still new to this new generation of messaging apps. They are far away from oldschool SMS -> they send messages over internet but connect people based on their contact lists (phone numbers users sign up with).

I need a default SMS app for the OS. Telegram isn't listed as an option. So I can't modify the default.

  Im curious what’s the point of looking for sms app if the format itself is very limited? What is wrong with standard sms appa?

    A default SMS app is required for Android. It's made by google.

      Android is also made by google, soo?

        Yes, but Android and it's derivatives are open source for the most part. Or at least based on open source technology. Ideally, I can minimize my data exposure by limiting Google's access.

It seems like they want to turn your contacts list into a slack like messaging service. I don't want that. AIM was alright, I just need text messages.
