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.

Ratings and reviews

Easy Transition and Customizable... but missing 3 features. High def sending photos (a must these days), encryption from point to point, and a way to request data deletion (I just didn't see it if it has a way to request). With those, it would be damn near perfect!!! If it had encryption capabilities and some way to send high def photos, I would rate it a 5. I just noticed it wants a lot of access to our info. I will compare it to others and re-review it if excessive.

I started using this app in 2016, and I absolutely love it. The customization options are fantastic; I assign different color text bubbles to each contact, making it easy to see who said what in conversations. I also have a 5-second delay for sending messages, which helps me catch typos before they go out. Plus, the ability to schedule messages is a game changer. If I wake up at night with something to share, I can set a text to send at 8 AM.

After the most recent update. All my photos fail to send, even small (300K) one's fail!! I've rebooted, forced stop, but nothing has fixed it!! One ⭐ Update: the developers contacted me. After a lot of testing and resetting things, it's back to working again. And, even though I have set things back to their original settings, it continues to work. I'm not sure what actually did the trick, but I'm happy again. Many thanks to the Dev team for spending the afternoon working with me. Now 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
