custom background
Ability to add your own picture as the background for in text and the list view separately. Also ability to do each contact with a different in app background. Go SMS already has this feature but their app has began using massive amounts of data.
Considered very carefully. Not a direction Textra wants to take as this would slow down the app and take it in a ‘bloated’ direction.

I paid for the app and was very disappointed about not having the option to change the background image in conversation.

Really like Textra but would very much appreciate a custom background option. One of the main perks of Android is the customization options of all the apps available & while I don't mind the black background, a custom one would be very nice.

Deleting application because this is not an option. I like so much about this app, but to not be able to add a photo to a background is unacceptable for this time and age

Yeah, I got tired of plain backgrounds. Unimstalling and moving on to a different app.

What about if not a picture, let us choose simple color, not just black or white.

I beg to differ, every single SMS app has a function to put a wallpaper as a backgrounnd except yours, maybe try and take a little of the flair that many users Don't use to then put the changing of wallpaper in the app to alleviate the slow down and "bloated direction" as you so put it.

I had gotten a samsung s8+ when it came out and i never redownloaded this app. After a year of using the Samsung texting app, and seeing the features me and many others asked for such as custom background and location sending (both available on stock Samsung text app) are still not on the app, and are in fact denied after being a pro user, it really turns me away from this app. I think i will have to go back to stock samsung app.

Disappointed that this is not an option. I had to stop using chomp sms because of issues with notifications and the inability to mute groups but I loved being able to use images for the interface. Textra is so ugly.

Oh one more thing, people who say good it got declined because it would make it too complicated.... seriously you must be completely stupid. To add one option where you select a picture for your back ground is nothing compared to how many options this app has. If you're that stupid where the addition of one little tick can make this app too complicated for you I can't wait for the day you all get your very own Darwin award.

I can change my background in messages with normal messenger but not the bubble texts are in and the only reason I got this app was for CUSTOMIZATION of the bubble to match my cool custom background so that being said since you're not going to be adding this I am now uninstalling. Simple fix for both of us but you're just lazy. If someone wants something regardless of your stupid bloating why would would deny it when it's within your abilities. UNISTALLED and 1 star across the board :)

I really wish you could persanolize much more as far as creating your own background ....this really should be added people keep requesting it and will download another app if it won't be added on textra

That was an extremely pompous response... The only reason your app is doing well is because of the CONSUMERS. And you aptly reject one request because it would take it in a "bloated direction". How hard is it to add that feature and not have it slow down.
