option to completely turn off the pop up message option

Backup/restore of settings. would be useful to be able to backup and restore settings in the event of having to do master reset or change device.

Having the ability to move Textra SMS to my SD would be beneficial to those who like to save text messages. App data can become quite large over the course of some time due to text messages not being deleted. If moving the app to the SD card is a problem due to Android restrictions, having the ability to archive text messages would be just as beneficial.

Please add about backup & restore, I really want this!

Textra is amazing on my device and BLOWS GoSMS(which I use) out of the water. However the ONLY feature holding me back is the lack of privacy due to no security over the inbox such as a pass code. If this feature could be implemented im sure myself and many others would make the jump official!

I had this on my previous text app EvolveSMS. You could change the enter button on the keyboard to a button that would take you to the smileys

i want to add a friend to our group text, but cant do so unless i start a new group

Would like to change background

please add unread message count above the app icon. The unread message notification is great but having it shown above the app icon would be helpful as well.

The ability to use pictures as backgrounds for conversations.

Use case: I'm on a 4 way group text and want to add additional people (or remove someone) without having to start a new thread. Seems Textra could do this automatically, and abandon the old thread. Would really increase the functionality of this awesome app, and I think you'd be the first to offer it on Android.

A lot of us have Samsung phones with SD card slots and save our pictures to the card instead of internal phone memory.

It would be useful, for some network services, to allow sending blank messages.

Please enable to unread the sms even after reading as we might be busy with our regular works and wants to read / act sometime later.
Dispalys in notification (optional).

Most other lesser sms apps have this feature. We should be able to have light and dark mode changed automatically by setting times. Come in devs, make it happen!

Instead of just the normal 2 min intervals for the notification repeats, have different options. For example, I prefer a 5 min interval.

In my country (maybe others too), spammers using different phone number each day, they likely never use the same number on next day. But they are using common words between messages to spam. So it will be extremly usefull if you could improve with wordlist filter feature.
I have made some rough mockup to describe it.

Will the RCS features be coming to Textra?
