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 started using Textra almost 11 years ago. Some of you were still learning to walk!:-P So, look no further. This is the app you want. Go spend the rest of your day experimenting with some truly unique features! If you send them a message because of a problem, they get back to you. Bizarre, right? If you somehow need something that it doesn't do, they update it about a half dozen times a year and have done so consistently for over 10 years. Just hop on the in-app suggestion board!

I love this app, it has been the best texting app I've tried and decided to pay for the free of adds version, I haven't had any issues. I would only like to suggest to not mark a text as "read" from the notifications when swiping it off and to add the "mark as read" as an option instead. Thank you! Edit: Thank you! That did it. I feel silly now šŸ˜

I have been using Textra for at least 5 years now. I love all the customizability and feature sets that go into the continued improvements of the app. Paid for the no ads version about 4 years ago and never regretted it. The color customizations also make it really good for me because of my red-green colorblindness. I also use the schedule a text feature a lot and haven't found another app that can schedule or actually works as well as textra's. I have never had any crashing or stability issues.
