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

Updated review: Great app! For some reason, the texting app that came on my phone, stopped giving a notification tone. I was unable to find a way to fix it, so started searching for another. This one fit the bill. It works very well. After the free trial, I chose to keep the free version. the ads are VERY unobtrusive. I hardly notice them. UPDATE: I did end up purchasing the app. I really like it and wanted to support the company. I do have trouble sending pics lately. Any help on that?

I read reviews to see if this was normal, but Textra doesn't let me send videos. I can send videos with every texting app. I've had trouble receiving messages with Messenger so I gave up on it. I'd rather be able to receive messages, than be able to send video. But textra won't even send 7 second videos. I've tried editing them down, lowering quality. I also wish it didn't open over top of other apps on Android. That's just annoying. When it does, you can't double send. No way to turn it off..

I've been using this app for years, loved it for so long, always installed it on new phones, but lately it is not good. It is freezing, kicking me out of the app. Glitching to where I can't type and then kicking me out. And just like other users it's now saying only sent but not delivered but people will respond to my text so I know they get them. Other times they won't send at all. I never had a problem up until textra started doing updates a few months ago.
