You can see when someone is typing like the android messenger

Is there a way to have the contact pictures show up in the conversation list?

It would be very cool if we could also customize the background in the conversation list

Being able to sync Textra with PC to send and receive text messages.

Just like IPhone, we should be able to react to texts.

Find something specific within a specific text instead of all the texts.

Bring us RCS support with Google and Samsung!

Long time fan of the product - started using native message app for android last year for the specific feature of web messaging.

You hit a URL, open your app, scan the code on the site, and bam you get all your messages online so you can text from your computer.

This would be super dope in Textra.

I switched back to Textra anyway b/c it's just so much better looking than the sidewalk chalk pastel children's art that is google UI's these days.

Anyway - might be a cool thing, maybe even worth a subscription tier or something?

Adding more variety on fonts and color texting on writing SMS.

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

more fonts to offer

Have a private inbox inside this app, with the option to lock it, for pro users with contacts we choose and have their messages delivered into that inbox separate from the rest of everyone else. It would be nice to have a conversation you don't want to delete, but don't want to see sitting there all the time either, tempting you to talk to said person. Out of sight out of mind concept, but still there waiting in the background.

to be able to change the background for text messages

Basically mimic iPhones where I can watch the video link sent to me within the Textra app. I believe this is possible by embedding the video within the app.

I would love to be able to like or laugh at a message like people with iPhones can

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

Please add option of adding or removing recipients in a group.

Sometimes the group members change so you need to create a new group everytime you have to remove or add a new recipient.

It would be better if there is just an add or remove option so I don't have to create a new group everytime. Thank you

Sometimes one can delete message by accident or needs to revert deleted message.

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

have the ability to change individual text background from your gallery.
