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 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.

Well, Textra is very smooth & has a really good UI which can be customized to your style at ease, or you can customize people's individual convos! I'd definitely say that it's worth purchasing the Pro version to stop ads once trial period ends & doesn't cost much at all! This is most definitely the best messaging app I've used in all the years. Have never once come across any issues at all, which is rare!! I most certainly recommend Textra & if rating out of 5 stars then I'd give it 5🌟👌

Excellent app, definitely worth 5+* // I do have one problem though… In the text sub-menu the "Send as New" option doesn't, its just copy & paste. A potential problem if your unaware and believe it will go automatically. // May I recommend a timer be added to it that will send the text after a preset duration, unless you choose to edit the text. || Yes, I'm aware of the delay, but we STILL need to tap send.

Feedback noted with thanks David. Meanwhile, in Textra settings - send delay = customize to your liking.

Definite improvement on the big standard SMS app included on my phone, which had been playing up. My only gripe is that despite setting it to ping and flash the notification light, the light doesn't come on, so I have to check if I hear a noise whether it's a message or just some random notification from another app. Adverts are very intrusive. I never notice them at all, which is good.
