native text app

I just read through this thread again and see a lot of talk about customization. What is it that you're customizing so in your text app?

I'm assuming different alert tones, colors, etc...for each person.

I do that as well and have since switched over to Textra as well. Textra is awesome and I'm still on the free version lol.

Google messages has been working fine for me.

 

[eric002]

oh, you're right! Google messages works absolutely fine. But I'm personally, think that the notifications are a little lackluster, and furthermore, overall customizations of the application are lackluster. However, that's just my own opinionated view point of view Google's application. I use every other Google application regardless...

Yep, you can totally use the stick sms app or Android messages without issue. Textra just takes the options and customization to another level that frankly is hard to beat.

question I see a lot of use Textra for sms app does it get back up like the native sms app or by goggle cloud?

 

[eric002]

Unfortunately not. That's the one thing that last from Textra. No cloud backup support.

Thanks , that's why I probably stick with the ones I have stock or andriod messages.

Okay, fair enough. And trust me, it's an issue but for me, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for Textra. To each their own.

Oh trust me I hear you!

They have plenty of back up apps you can use. Whenever I switch phones I backup the messages I want.

 

[eric002]

This is very true, however I've also never felt the need to backup/restore SMS messages.

What's the difference between free Textra and Pro version? For some reason I can't seem to find how to upgrade! looked everywhere within the app. Use and love Textra!

 

[eric002]

basically, the pro version of Textra just has no ads in it. The basic version has an advertisement as the first message. It got annoying to me.

If I use Google messenger, it will break up my texts into several messages. I use pulse to convert it to an MMS
Unfortunately ATT has a deep hatred for RCS and for technological progress, so they don't do anything about it.
