1. Long ago I tested all the SMS/MMS apps and settled on FOSS PulseSMS.
2. The Klinker Brothers sold their product to the devil (Maple Media).
3. So I've been using the last known good version for many years.
Today. My phone needed a reboot that I had not initiated.
I didn't notice any security updates being updated.
However, I noticed "someone" had updated PulseSMS to the latest version.
WTF?
That's not supposed to happen.
I had my phone set to never update anything but the OS automatically.
Well, I "thought" I had my phone set to never update apps automatically.
And yet, there it was. The latest version of PulseSMS from Maple Media.
So I'll just uninstall it & re-install the last known good version.
<xyz.klinker.messenger> Version 5.4.6.2816 (2816)
And, since it's a messenger app, I have to set it as the default.
Where it then re-reads all the saved SMS/MMS messages without loss.
(Because messages are kept in a separate sqlite database, that's why.)
But... the question to ask... which is of value to everyone here...
How do we best figure out exactly who or what is updating our apps?
More to follow... as I try to figure this out.
Has this ever happened to you?
Nope. Never!
I've got an iPhone.
