Is there a way to disable this and revert back to how it was before? It is one of the more annoying "features" Lol

I ended up disabling text from popup because it was so annoying.

??? Don't understand how or why

This should be an option..HATE that it closes after each message is sent

Yes please add it as an option

3 votes! Please add. I prefer it to close after pressing send.

Sometimes you want to send multiple messages in a row, though...

I agree, but to have it as an option

The keyboard remaining open is very annoying

I vote no, or at least it being an option. It would be annoying to reopen the keyboard in multiple message scenarios, which for a lot of us, is common. I often break up messages instead of sending a block of text.

Make it optional if implemented

Highly required, sometimes it looks like a bug.

Agreed

Yes, if so, make it optional. Pressing back key is perfect for me.

If this is implemented, please make it OPTIONAL. Auto-hiding the keyboard after sending would remove more functionality than it would provide. With modern communication, people often send multiple messages in a row as a means of communicating tone and constructing the overall message. It would be very frustrating to have to reopen the keyboard every time for this.

I agree with many others, it shouldn't be automatic. I think there should be a small down arrow, and when tapped, keyboard closes. This allows me to have more space for reading the conversation.

Implement and make it user option, default to NOT CLOSE.

Like this idea..!

I don't like think this is a good idea

I have paid for, and supported this app. I have requested the repair of This MISSING stock Android Function that is not only present on the Crappy stock messaging app but on 99.9% of all other messaging apps and really other apps for that matter. It's been a year now and no one has Fixed this. Now let me reiterate that this is not a feature it is a stock Android function that is missing from the application, hell I even copied pasted and emailed you the code you forgot to implement. Why are you not supporting your app people are paying you money? Right? All rudeness aside you guys are too busy adding pretty colors for all the metrosexual morons instead of fixing the Bare Bones structural deficiency Within your code. Why is this? Why is a missing function in some kind of vote? Seriously, and it's not to be a jerk I'm just fervently put back on how long it has taken to do nothing even when thousands say this is ridiculous you still do nothing? Okay, I understand it's your app but again you're asking for money for the full version so people like myself that have paid are left wondering where are you? And why hasn't this been fixed?

Every time I send a message, it not only closes out of the entire app, but it locks my screen. It is annoying to continue to unlock my screen as I'm texting a conversation. If people like the way it is now, then it should definitely be an option in the settings. Please change immediately. Love the app, but this unlocking my screen after ever message sent is a huge turn off for me and I wouldn't want to use this app because of it.
