It would be nice to be able to customize colors rather than just choose from the list provided.

Allow users to create an account and back up their text messaging data. Very useful if someone switches phones, and downloads this app on their new phone, but their text messages are only available on the old phone.

Get Web Messaging feature. sometimes its more convenient to keep conversation going while browsing.

I want to remove the list of people that come up when I send a new message. When I start a new message a long list of people are displayed. Some are not mobile contacts.

Add the feature to rename group conversations, ex. Family chat, bar buddies, etc. Google messages has this feature and I think it would be a great addition to Textra.

With the update of applications moving away from the upper banner, hamburger menu and apps having a cleaner look, etc, please update textra! See Google's material 2.0 for ideas;)

Following the general idea of Samsung's "One UI" where certain apps initially open with their touch- interactive UI elements halfway down the screen, to facilitate easier one-hand operation without needing to stretch thumb too much.
For example: when opening Textra, the last of text conversations would be moved down the screen, so the top conversation is more near the middle of the screen, instead of at the very top and requiring a thumb stretch.

The ability to sort messages or filter by messages you have sent that have not had a reply would make this app a huge success with sales people. The a bijou to schedule sms is huge I use that feature all the time. This would make it a no brainer for all sales reps

When someone sends me their address, it'd be helpful to be able to click it and open Maps for navigation. Currently, you have to copy/paste the entire message text to get the address. It's annoying.

A feature to supress notification or block an sms based on specific set of keywords

Please give us text reminders, I have been using the premium version of this app for years.

Hi,

I'd like it if the notification text was part of the accent color instead of the primary color, because my primary color is black, and black text on a dark notification is hard to read. My accent color is blue, and blue text and on a dark notification is easier to read. I know this is way too long, but I hope you can include this feature. Thanks.

on the lock screen, see only the name of the person who texted you but not the content of the message
when the screen is unlocked, see both the name of the person and their message

should implement fingerprints lock also

create a message and allotted particular time that message will be sended that time that day to other person.

looking a black screen behind my texts is boring. could y'all update it so I can set a background for eceryone

Hi Team, EMUI 9.1+ adds support for uniform icons where non-square 3rd party app icons have a white background added to them. Is it possible to add support for this to Textra's round or original icon? Thanks, Nathan

I like how customizable group messages are in terms of their names and colors, but their icons are sort of ugly and they can't be changed. If we could choose our own icons or the icon of somebody in the group as the group icon, that would be convenient. It would especially help if you're trying to hide the existence of an extra contact that's in the chat to make it function properly, which isn't a problem this app can fix directly.
