About this app

Textra is an alternative to your stock SMS/MMS app (that came preinstalled on your phone). So, whether you're looking for a faster experience, better customization options, more color or just a specific feature (like scheduling a text in the future) you've come to the right place.

Feature rich, notably 180+ material design theme, bubble & app icon colors. Light, dark, black, night & android screen modes, multiple bubble styles, scheduled (future) SMS & MMS, send delay, slide to delete, slide to call, quick snap camera, multi-select picture gallery, quick reply SMS popup, awesome MMS GROUP messaging, quick voice memos, endless GIFs, 21 text sizes, multiple font options, message blocker / blocklisting, pin-to-top, automatic video & picture compression, support for iOS reactions, iOS emojis & heaps more!

Customize your preferred theme & bubble colors, signatures and notifications (icon shape, sound, privacy, reminders, and muting) per conversation as well.

Get all the latest Android, Twitter, JoyPixels & iOS style emojis including diversity (skin tone). Just pick your preferred emoji style and express yourself!

NEW: Added support for Reactions (also known as Tapbacks) received from iOS Apple devices. So, for example instead of seeing an incoming message saying: Loved "See you at 9pm", you'll now see a love heart emoji superimposed on the message you sent. Just like on iOS devices, Facebook Messenger etc. You can also send reactions!

NEW: Copy Partial Text tap a bubble to check out this great new feature that allows you to copy any part of the text in a bubble!

It's pretty special; try it, tell your friends, shout from the treetops, but most of all enjoy it.

Fully compatible with Pushbullet, MightyText, Android Wear and Android Auto (car) for enhanced notifications and quick reply.

All Textra features are free forever. Occasionally you'll see an ad, or you can choose to make a once only in-app purchase to remove ads forever.

Don't like: the new media selection method. It adds steps to something that used to be simple, and makes it easier to unintentionally send a message without the selected media attached. Some like it, though, so just add an option to switch methods. App size balloons sometimes. Do like: the ability to select text to copy instead of only copying the entire message. Overall, Textra has been my main SMS app for quite a while now. Got pro, love the features. Can't live without some of them.

I really like this app. It's easy to use, group texts are easy, changing fonts is easy, pinning certain texters is very easy and helpful, and setting a delay for messages sent is also helpful. A couple of features I wish were available are, first, a filter to see only unread messages, and then second, making a "read" message "unread".

I've been using this app nearly a decade, but recently I'm constantly getting messages failing to send. Sometimes they are actually going through despite the failure notice, but it's a total crapshoot. Textra are definitely aware of the issue, but in typical fashion, are blaming Android, Samsung, anyone but themselves. Also, the updated attachment function is awful. Update: happening more frequently. If it's a carrier issue, why does it only happen with textra and not the default message app?

As your mobile carrier transits all messages this is likely an interim carrier issue. We are happy to help you figure out the cause if you can please reach out to help@textra.me. Thanks Brendan.
