Since Android 4.1, Android has enabled rich notifications with actions and these notifications have since then become the standard. While Textra does currently support rich notifications, it needs to add actions to its notifications to stay current. Useful actions for these would be Mark as Read or Snooze, since clicking on the notification itself opens up the conversation to reply. However, a Reply action button which opened up a quick compose window could also be very helpful.

I think that as one of the most notification heavy apps anyone will have on their phone, it is essential that a messaging app like Textra is up to date with the most recent and advanced notification management available in Android.
