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

edit: theres a setting that helps, but it still struggles. Often I get "did noy receive MMS message" notifications the other issue Im having is when I set my phone to do not disturb, it will still play the notification sound if Im looking at text chain when I receive a message from that person. if my phones on DND, I need my messages on silent ALWAYS. My MMS messages are not working since the update. I like this app but thats a big problem for me as I use a company group chat for work.

No PDF support?!? Paid for app, and it's been great, until work sent me PDF file (less than 600kb size. Message is blank. I spoke to Tmobile, and they said it is the app (Textra). I switched to the integrated messaging app on phone and now I get PDF file(s) via text message, but not if I use Textra. Yikes! *after digging into this, I've discovered PDF has been a complaint from many, for multiple years. Textra took a left when they should gave gone right?

UPDATE 3/16/25: Textra is still the best. I've used it ~3 years and love the features, UI, and reliability. ORIGINAL MESSAGE: I'm very happy with Textra. It has the must-have delayed delivery, plus many other features. The developers are very responsive to operational questions. 8/3/23 UPDATE: Textra is still great. It has a lot of features and style options. I like that new features don't change how I use only basic features. I don't have to change with updates to the app.
