The stock app converts my longer texts into a URL with broken text, which is frustrating. I used to use Signal until they dropped SMS support. Any good alternatives?

QKSMS has been great over the past year and change I've used it. Simple, clean and customizable. Simple SMS Messenger is another solid option as well.

Simple SMS Messenger is what I use for SMS texts

As counter intuitive as this sounds, Google Messages will be the most private SMS app. It's got a big user base so RCS usage will be pretty frequent, which means e2ee and better messaging overall. That's more private when you compare it to other SMS apps which have zero RCS. The main fault though is that RCS needs to be supported a lot better on Android.
