About this app

TO OUR LOYAL USERS - Due to upcoming changes in Play Store policy, we may soon have to modify our services. We will provide more details soon.

Mei is an upgrade to the SMS/MMS texting app that came with your phone, combining all the best features in messaging with ones you can't find anywhere else.

Made by developers who saw the need for a more complete messaging app and were tired of the same features recycled over and over by other apps. So, we set out to create one that can provide everything users may want and couldn't even dream of, giving users choice in every step, a way to discover others and even earn rewards.

To start, our app is the only one with an optional advanced AI assistant named Mei (pronounced ‘May’) that can give personalized information about your conversations. Imagine Mei as an expert adviser or best friend, who's always there to give only you advice or any tidbit she notices in your conversations.

What's the best way to talk to someone? Does your friend sound a little different today? Does someone you just met seem romantically interested?

Mei can recognize insights and personalities of your contacts as you chat or just from the messages saved in your phone (you don't even have to text through our app first!) The AI is designed to make you better informed, ultimately leading to better conversations and relationships.

Chat for free internationally and securely because we're the first messaging app to offer RCS (the upgrade to SMS sent via internet) that's end-to-end encrypted when messaging other users. Similar to iMessage with its blue and green bubble system, messages fall back to SMS/MMS (green bubble) when chatting with non-users.

Fully customize the app with theme colors and backgrounds. Organize chats into folders and bulk message custom groups. Even import chats from other messaging apps and turn them into SMS.

Discover others via polling and the "Stream" where we can connect you with people, news and products based on your messages. Even earn credits toward your phone bill by using the app with our micro-transactions system.

Compatible with MightyText, Pushbullet and mySMS for desktop and web access (our own desktop version coming soon). Mei syncs with any Android smartwatch, watch or wearable.

Key AI Features:
- AI assistant can be turned on or off freely
- Gives you personalized advice on how to better communicate
- Understands personality and demographic differences
- Can tell relationship intent such as romantic or friendly (even reveal secret feelings embedded in the messages)
- Detect changes in behavior and mood

Unique Non-AI Features:
- Conversations automatically organized into folders (inc. spam)
- Create custom folders and labels
- Import conversations from WhatsApp and Line
- Earn credits for interacting with Mei, ads and participating in anonymous polling

Other Key Features:
- Fully customizable, including dark mode and monochrome theme
- Schedule messages or cancel them before they send
- Supports dual sim
- Audio / Voice messages
- Mesh messaging may be coming soon

When Messaging Other Mei Users…
- Rich Communication Service (RCS) chat
- End-to-end encryption
- Message internationally for free
- Disappearing messages, deleted after they’re read
- Expiring messages, deleted after a set time

Our two apps, Mei and Messages Improved, are clones sharing many of the same features. Messages Improved has more of a commercial focus, where we experiment with ads and connecting users with products and services they want. It allows Mei to maintain its focus on personal relationships and exchanging opinions.

I was really excited to use this app. However, I can't use any of the features because I'm having issues logging in. I keep getting the same message that reads "It looks like there is an issue with your network connection, please check your network status and try again" well my connection is just fine with or without wifi on and I can't even find a support website to reach out to anybody

I downloaded this app and I wanted to use it instead of Google messages. It looks great to use but there's a problem. When I open the app and press next it prompts me for SMS, I click allow. After that it goes back to that same page and I press next and the screen leaves for a sec and comes back. The skip button doesn't even work. So currently this app is 100% useless to some or all of their users.

I'm required to verify my phone number to enable RCS, which is fine, but the verification process is currently broken. I receive a code via text, which I then enter, but after hitting the "verify" button, nothing happens beyond the button losing its label. Hitting the button again provides an "invalid code" prompt. I also haven't been able to receive group texts anymore, but I assume I won't have that issue once they fix the RCS enable process.
