How do I define contacts with multiple numbers whene texting?

[Android Central Question]

How do I define contacts with multiple numbers whene texting? I have multiple contatcs with multiple numbers.... cell, work, personal etc and I text to all numbers. When I look at my texts I dont know which number I am sending a message to. Each number has a different colour but they are very similar and hard to distinguish.

Depends on the app you're using. 3rd party apps usually offer better customization options for that kind of thing. You should still be able to see the number if you tap on the sender contact preview on most stock apps, though. Textra is a popular option and one that lets you use your own colors for each conversation (and also lets you see the originating number in each thread's info with a tap).
