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.

Help! Suddenly the app stopped letting me send texts. When I click on "send", I get the error msg: "Textra keeps stopping" and my text disappears. I tried clearing the cache but it had no effect. Tried stopping the app, then restarting, but no effect. I would delete the app and reload it but I'm afraid of losing my long history of texts. What do I do?

After the latest update, seeing random "Textra is not optimized for the latest version of Android" toast messages. 4.75 introduced a failed to send bug on MMS. Other messaging apps aren't having the issue and even had my line reprovisioned. To test my theory, I rolled back to version 2.74 and have had zero failed to send MMS. I'll stay on this version until a newer version is released. Still an amazing app. (I've already emailed. Didn't resolve the issue)

I really enjoy the app, way more customizable and enjoyable than the stock Samsung text app. The only complaint I have that really really bugs me is the fact that in voice messages, you're not able to control the playback of the audio. You're forced to listen the entire voice memo without being able to skip, rewind, or fast forward the audio, and if the screen goes black while playing it, you'll have to start all over again from 0 seconds. Makes it super annoying to use the voice message feature
