Import/export messages/history!
I fucking love Textra and have been using it exclusively for years now. Only feature I've needed but not had has been message migration. I just got a new phone after a few years and realized I missed responding to a group chat for clients because it started the day I switched phones and I don't have the thread on my new phone. in this instance I can obviously just look at messages on my old phone and get caught up but being able to export and import between devices would be super helpful. Some ideas and assumptions:
- Migration type: manually for all users, maybe offer cloud sync for Pro users as an as-needed service.
- - - Assumption: for cloud sync service, >90% of users will only utilize the feature once every couple of years when they upgrade/replace phones, so the additional server cost should be pretty low as it won't be used very often. I don't know y'all's infrastructure and opinions on offering any kind of cloud feature for Textra. I do rather enjoy the fact that it's basically all local.
Data type: JSON, of course. Could generate it on-device and either save to downloads folder or provide copy-paste box, the latter of which doesn't seem to useful but geeks always find edge cases.
Merging of data: I have used my phone for a few days before realizing my blunder and so now I'd need to merge messages for a few contacts. I imagine this could be dealt with easily by just doing an array merge based on message timestamps or even just concatenating new onto old (or old onto new in reverse).
That's all. Just thought I'd share the idea.

Scroll bar on the side
I think it'd be helpful to have an option in settings to add a scroll bar to the side of messaging to more easily scroll up through message history.

automated responses
if you could can we get automated responses both on a individual messaging level and a global level? for example within a conversation you can set a pre-typed message to automatically send when you get a text message from a contact. There might also have a repeat switch at the individual level. as in if you want you can repeat one message over and over every time they text instead of having multiples. And then potentially have a global automated response that would be superseded by individual Auto contact responses but would send for everyone that texted you this one will be an on-off switch and would be sent to everyone that texted you as long as they didn't have any individual set and it would repeat for every message that was sent.
example: you leave for a vacation and you set a individual auto text message to repeat for your boss and if a few co-workers when they text you, saying "I'm on vacation until next Friday have a good week."
this way you wouldn't have to send it individually every single time you could rest easy knowing that if it's work related your phone is automatically responding at the same time you can still screen the text yourself to see if it's important enough for you to respond to on your own.

Fix mobile number detection for imported contacts
Not sure what happened, but at some point my contacts started showing numbers with all-caps labels, like HOME instead of Home, MOBILE instead of Mobile. I'm guessing they got re-imported somewhere and showed up like this. I noticed that the "Mobile Contacts Only" filter stopped detecting some contacts because of this. Please use case-insensitive matching for this.

Idea for message notification supression option
Imagine you are doing something on your phone and someone texts you 4 or 5 things in a row.. and you get 5 alerts in 20 seconds.
Now imagine if Textra allowed you to say, "After receiving a message, hide textra notifications for that user for the X amount of minutes."
I'm already a paid user and this is the app I tell everyone to get for android but this would be a feature that you would be the first to roll out on any messaging app that I have heard of.
I'm begging you. Please help me keep my ex-wife from ruining my life any further.

One Handed Mode
The standard messaging app on Samsung Phones has the top half of the screen essentially blank unless you swipe up. That way the top message, the newest, is only halfway up your screen and can be reached with your thumb while holding your phone with one hand. This seems like a great app, but this might be a deal breaker.

Visual Cues for Contacts
It would be great if the icon/thumbnail for a group text, for which I have supplied a specific color, would have a ring of that color around the circle of contact photos of the participants when I am looking at all of my texts. It would help me pick out that group more easily.

custom options
i have been with Textra for a ton of years now!
so i am really ready to spice things up a bit like some of the other apps are doing and i really need some cool effects.i would really love to see more custom options. more icons, add pics or patterns for the backgrounds or themes, more conversation bubble options, font packages, more text color options, more stickers and emojis. thanks for considering any of these

iOS reactions should be a separate notification category
If the Ios emoji reaction was a separate notification category I would be a much happier camper. I greatly appreciate not having "so and so reacted to [full text message] show up in my conversations, but I would strongly prefer the option to just not be notified of iphone people doing iphone stuff.
