I've heard good things about the Fossify SMS app. Might want to give it a try.

I can't speak to it because I don't use SMS a whole lot.

I've used Fossify SMS and its predcessor for the past few years and I'm very satisfied with it. Everything works as expected and it's easy to export and import your entire SMS database when moving phones. Thing that keeps me on it is that it lets me block texts by pattern, including entire area codes (looking at the 410 spam texts that plague AT&T).

Fossify Sms is cool but NGL I have no idea where my archived texts have gone and at this point I am afraid to ask 😂 I am not a guy who fails to explore UI elements either! Whisked away into the void

Is there an option to show archived conversations when you tap the three dots next to the search bar?
