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.

I've been using textra for around 8 years and have loved up until a couple months ago. Now when I go to attach a picture, if I don't send the text as fast as humanly possible, it removed the picture and replaced it with a text exclamation mark, so then I have to make a separate text for just the pictures. Sometimes it changes the pictures to errors so fast that I can't hit send fast enough. Super irritating!

Used to love it... The new and improved version is driving me crazy! The grammar & spell checks are often irrelevant . Grammar-check isn't needed in this type of application,and just like the Spell check feature is loaded with too many "options" when a portion of text is highlighted. One accidental tap, on ANY key, and the highlighted text is gone. I'm not composing a business letter, so simple, basic features are what I need... Texting should be quick and uncomplicated.

Spell check feature is provided by your keyboard. Textra SMS doesn't have it's own keyboard. Textra SMS uses your devices keyboard and just adds the + panel. Please see your device general settings - typing and input (keyboards) for options. Thanks and hope for more stars soon K.A.

Love it and I've tried several messaging apps. I've been an avid GO SMS PRO user for years and this tops even that app! Suggestion: Please make a pop up chat head when you get a message. And the option to customize the ringtones for each contact. Also, customizable contact backgrounds. Then it will be the perfect app. Most messaging apps have those features. They're all quite helpful. Thanks for an amazing app! 😊
