Changes to contact-specific vibration patterns
(skip the first two paragraphs if you just want the suggestions and not my reasoning for wanting them)
So today I updated to 3.28 (yeah, I'm late, I know) and I had an idea for the per-contact vibration patterns. I learned Morse Code (if anyone's interested, I used http://morsecode.io/. It was surprisingly easy, only took about 30 minutes to get the whole alphabet memorized) and set each of my contacts' vibration pattern to Morse Code of their initials.
In theory, this would be wonderful, and I could tell who texted me as soon as I got the text without taking my phone out of my pocket. In practice, there are a few issues: the main one is that often the person sending me a text sends another one before the vibrations from the first are complete. The vibration pattern plays again on top of the first one and makes the whole thing indecipherable. The other problem is that although I like having short vibrations on when texting with the app open, the 3-4 second Morse Code vibrations get really annoying really quick. A third and far more minor annoyance is that when my phone is open but not to Textra and I get a text, I don't need the custom vibration patterns to see who it was; I can just read it from the notification bar. As such, I would suggest the following changes to Textra:
An option to set it so that if the same contact sends an additional text within a changeable time period during which the phone has not been turned on, a second vibration pattern is not played. This way, a user will know that they have a message (or messages) from a certain contact without the phone going crazy vibrazy if the contact sends multiple messages in quick succession.
An option to have different vibration patterns per contact ideally depending on whether the phone is off, the phone is on but Textra is not the active app, Textra is open but the conversation the message is from is not, or if the conversation the message is from is open.
An option to have a "backlog" of vibration patterns, so that each vibration pattern is only played after a changeable interval of time from the previous one. This way, if two contacts send a text at the same time, their vibration patterns will be played one after the other rather than simultaneously, making it possible for the recipient to distinguish them and know who is texting them.
These changes (which I recognize are not simple to implement) would make all the effort I spent learning Morse Code not completely pointless. Thanks for making a fantastic app guys :)

Delayed sending and writing another sms
There should be more time for delayed sending. At least 20 seconds. When pressing "send", sms should go up together with countdown circle, so we could write another sms without waiting.

When searching for a contact by name do not translate letters to their keypad equivalent.
When I go to compose a new message and type 'dad' for the contact, Textra givse me a list sorted alphanumerically that also includes all contacts whose numbers start with 323.
It appears Textra is converting 'dad' to the corresponding keypad digits 323. 323 is a main area code in Los Angeles so I have to scroll through a ton of contacts before I find dad.
Can you update to have 'dad' be the first choice and/or give me the option to disable alpha numeric translation?

Auto correct is terrible
For example, Why is "shit" always auto corrected to Shit? Did shit become a proper noun or something? Why when I write "Kayla" it changes it to "Paula"? I am new to Andriod, and im very close to dumping this app for a different messaging app. I had issues with auto correct on iOS, but this is ridiculous. Another issue, I isn't automatically made into a capital letter about half the time. Please tell me one instance of when i by itself (see, it JUST did it) is not capitalized. I is ALWAYS capitalized, and Shit is never capitalized unless it is the first word of a sentence. Get it together, or lose me as a customer. I don't even care that i paid for the premium service. If this continues, I'm gone.

A timeout on notifications sounds
I have friends who will text me a half dozen times over two minutes - it would be nice to be able to set textra to only notify once per contact per set time frame

Randomize contact and chat colours
Let Textra assign a random colour to each contact so each chat will be a different colour. The bar at the top of each conversation should also match the contact colour to avoid clashing.
Google messenger does this very well and having many colours makes it a lot more enjoyable to use.4 votes -

Make an option to only send a signature on the first message in a conversation.
So, I like the signatures idea, I use them as an IT pro with my email, however it can be annoying in every text message. It would be great to have an option for the signature to only be attached to the first text of a conversation for the people at work or the people without your phone number.

Can't use picture gallery to MMS
I recently purchased a new Xiaomi Mi5s Plus, and after setting it up all features of Textra work except trying to send MMS messages. I can receive fine, but when tapping the + button the gallery doesn't appear and the button does nothing. I'm thinking it may not be compatible yet with the default picture gallery app in MIUI 8?
