to be able to change the background for text messages

let us know if the person we text has "read" our text such as IOS

Please add ability to make conversations private, protected by passcode.

You should have the option to allow us to use a background in the messaging screen.

it would be great to send SMS , MMS from my PC or tablet etc

Would love to be able to see if the person is replying to my text with a "typing" message while I wait for it to come in.

i would really love this app if i could pick a picture from my gallery and have it as my background, otherwise i just like it😏

Allow for more font choices or 3rd party fonts

The app is amazing but would be great if the background could be customised by using a photo order extending the range of colours available for use.

Will there EVER be a private inbox feature? A place where you can put selected messages behind a password. This has been asked for YEARS, it has what looks like the most votes among the feature requests submitted by users. Will it ever happen?

use gallery (etc) pics for background

Please give us the ability to do the message reacts like iOs and Facebook Messenger have. Would also be nice to see the reacts that others do to our messages the same way that iOs does, instead of just getting a message that says"loved "blah blah.""

Details on text messages. Be able to see when the other person is typing almost like a typing bubble pop up, see if they've read your text (seen, read etc).

Please add the background wallpaper.

iPhones can now react to messages (just like in Facebook Messenger). However, when an iPhone user reacts to a message the recipient will only receive a text message in the format of

NAME liked "Message here"

Display the contact photo within the thread like the andriod message app does.

Please make a secure folder with fingerprint authentication to hide messages in. I've only used this app simply bc it's the best. The blacklist is the only way to hide contacts but it's not exactly secure. I've been looking towards other apps like mood for this one reason only.

So whenever im texting a friend and they don't respond for a couple of seconds or minutes I would like to know if they are typing or not Discord has something like this and it works pretty well.

More bubble styles would be cool!!

Please add transparency effect on the main ui.
like in ios imessage or windows 10 translucency effect.
