What have you replaced Messenger with for SMS/MMS on the Nexus 6P?

Can you send pictures through Textra?

 

[bkrickles]

I've paid for chomp and textra and both are great and both have no ads after paying. I probably prefer chomp because I like their quick reply box better. With that being said I just downloaded awsms and it's pretty good for an app in beta. Check it out

Is Textra ad-free if you pay the $1.99?

Yes I paid the first day they asked for it and never looked back. Love textra

Can you send pictures through Textra?

Yes -- it is just like the stock app where you can send pictures via MMS.

Chomp SMS. Made by the Textra people, but with a few more features but still very clean. Best thing going.

I think I've tried most of what's available. On my S5. When I got the 6P a few weeks ago, just started using the stock Messenger. Not sexy, but it works. I'm on VZW, and had some random MMS issues with some of the others. Rather than try to figure them out, just went back to Messenger. haven't had a problem. I miss the customization, but like the fact that it works reliably.

Textra. Hands down, the best SMS app.

Textra. Messenger is GARBAGE.

AwSMS got advertised on AP, downloaded it. Wow ... talk about smoooth! Shelled out the 99 cents right away! Gotta support a good developer. Was using Textra before, which also works like a charm!

Edit: AwSMS got the best quick reply (swipe down on the heads up notification) in the business!

I have the exact same problem. 6P on Tmo. MMS does not work. Hoping for a solution soon.

mysms primarily for the automatic backup and flawless texting from pc / tablet as well. I don't really care for the app on the phone itself (textra and even messenger have a better interface IMO) but the backups AND texting from any other device outweighs that for me.

Signal! Sleek interface combined with the most secure OTT messaging service out there, and of course does regular SMS just fine too... (and 100% free & open source)

(can't post links cos i'm new but search play store for "signal private messenger")

Google Messenger while I slowly peer pressure my family to use Whatsapp. I tried Hangouts as a way to fuse SMS with a standard messenger but it was really clunky. Lots of bugs and missing features (no video?).

I really like Google Messenger though. Super clean interface.

I was using Messenger on my Note 4, so being used to it, I continue to use it. It's simple, the MMS UI is great - love the in-message camera, and I'm accustomed to it. I attempted to use Hangouts about a year ago, but just didn't like it. I don't send or receive any Google messages, so it seemed a bit pointless. It'll be Messenger for the foreseeable future.

But my messenger got stuck sometimes.

I've been using textra for a few years now, mostly because when i get a message i can respond to it in any app. Plus the customization is great too.

Textra. Messenger is GARBAGE.

I have to know what messenger can't do that it warrants the all caps garbage. I use messenger and haven't once had a problem. No reason to pay for an app for me when the stock one does the job perfectly.
