# SMSSecure [](https://travis-ci.org/SMSSecure/SMSSecure)
SMSSecure is a messaging app for simple private communication with friends to communicate securely using SMS. This is a fork of [TextSecure](https://github.com/WhisperSystems/TextSecure), in which SMS encryption is not available anymore.
SMSSecure focuses on SMS. This fork aims to:
* Drop Google services dependencies: push messages are not available in SMSSecure; if you want to keep them, SMSSecure is not for you.
## Migrating from TextSecure to SMSSecure
* In TextSecure, export plaintext backup. Warning: the backup will **not** be encrypted.
* Install SMSSecure.
* In SMSSecure, import plaintext backup.
* Enjoy SMSSecure!
Note: You will have to start new secured sessions.
