Preferred SMS app

Previous versions may havs been. For me the search doesnt work which I often use. It'll highlight the message you are searching for but not jump to it. So you have to scroll and scroll to find it. No gif support is a big negative as well for me. Some nice to haves are scheduled messages and the quick share bubbles (when you click share in an app your most recent texts are at the top of the share window.) They are all jacked up for stock messaging.

I need the animated gifs. I've tried using textra, changing to gboard and swiftkey and nothing seems to work.

Textra definitely supports gifs. It has giphy built in. A recent update also included the ability to insert gifs from gboard. I've been having some issues with textra and MMS. They've said it's a change that was made to android that is interfering

I'll install textra again and see if I can figure it out.

Got it to work this time, thank you for the response.

It supports gifs, yes! I figured this out too but didn't really clue into the change until you said it (I don't use gifs much). Hopefully they get on fixing that - the app developers are usually quite quick to fix bugs.

I am currently using Verizon messages because of the features it offers. I find myself going back to stock for the simplicity and aesthetics.

Anyone sticking with stock?

I am. Its nice
