Recognize supported reactions received as text, including reactions from iPhone users, and display them alongside messages.

Translate messages on your device without sending the message text to a cloud translation service.

APP LOCK AND BACKUP — PREMIUM

• Back up and restore using local storage or Google Drive.
• Choose your Google Drive backup location.
