New 'Chat' Messaging Format coming to Android...
What are Textra's plans to support the new Chat messaging format being pushed to carriers and Android devices? Will we see these features implemented so that we don't have to revert back to using the stock texting app just to get read receipts?
Once these features come to devices, I think users will want them immediately. Coming from a long time textra user, I think ensuring this functionality is up and running is paramount to keeping this platform competitive.
(for those who don't know, Google is pushing a new format of text messaging, which goes beyond SMS in ways similar to iMessage, adding things like read reciepts and typing notifications)
