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.

Been using the premium version for years and love the depth of customizability and accessibility. However, the new image insertion UI change has GOT to go. As a physically disabed person, I find it difficult to hit the new selection button accurately, and often end up having to do multiple taps per image to get it to attach, when previously I could just tap one anywhere in the thumbnail. Those extra taps really add up when your hands are in constant pain. Food for thought, love the app otherwise

Decent app... Ive used this over stock apps and other texting apps for quite a while.. Through 3 or 4 different phones and I like most of the features... However, the new update made adding pictures to a text so insanely ridiculous. It IS nice to be able to preview the whole picture before you send it vs just going off a small thumbnail, but then I have to select it, hit the back button, hit choose, then send. Why can't I just choose from the preview??

Thanks for your feedback Ryan, you do not need to go back at all. Long hold on any picture to see in full-screen mode > select > choose (n) > selected picture(s) populates in the send message field. Please email [email protected] for further guidance if needed.

6/22/2024: -tap to open pics thing is annoying cause choose button is small, can't always be seen -designate where pics autosave. -And don't make me pick my browser EVERY SINGLE TIME. JUST OPEN. Worst change made over the years. 2019: I have been consistently pleased with this gorgeous, well-behaved app. Developers have always been very responsive, and even with consistent updates, the app has always remained the same, outside of Google-mandated changes. Thank you for a great app!
