What's your preferred SMS App?

I use Textra because it has certain customization options that I haven't found in other SMS apps. For example, when I got my Nexus 5 hooked up MTS, I could send and receive MMSs, but not if I was on Wifi. Somehow having WiFi enabled would screw things up for me. I've come to the conclusion that when I sent a picture or receive one, the previous SMS apps would try to use WiFi to get the job done. While I definitely see that as an advantage, my carrier doesn't seem to support that. I tried out Textra on a whim, and as it turns out, Verizon or another US carrier had this issue as well and there's an option that when you receive or send an MMS, it will temporarily disable WiFi if you're connected.

Along with other neat features like making a noise when a text is sent out or choosing how long to have a text float on the lockscreen is part of the reason why I prefer Textra over the rest. I will admit that I do like the UI of Google Messenger.

I was using the stock SMS app but based on how many folks here like Google Messenger I decided to give it a go. So far, so good.
 
I used Google messenger on my xperia z2. I now have an s7 edge and was going to download Google messenger again but so far I have stock with the stock messenger app. It's not bad and looks decent.

I'm a big fan of Next SMS (formally Handcent). It's easy to customize; however, does take up some memory. I also like Chomp, but it has intrusive ads which I hate. Just when you're about to reply to a text, an ad takes it's place! Next SMS does have ads, but only in the settings and they are not intrusive.
 
I was using Hangouts for a while but recently switched to Google Messenger. I like it better.

I am probably the small minority on this one, but I don't understand Hangouts at all lol.
I prefer the stock sms app. Although on my LG Stylo, I do good to receive any of my texts! 😒
I did like Chomp too tho

Normally I wouldn't admit it but I have gotten use to the Verizon Messages app. It has taken them a bit of time to get things worked out but they really made a solid app.
 
try this "chat wing", best chat apps that i use, a lot of good stuff that you can use like emoticons, design, font etc.. that all user's want to edit and customize their message :)
 
I was fond of Google Messenger, until I discovered I couldn't "attach" anything from my Gallery (go to gallery from the paperclip screen and there's nothing there). Now it's back to searching for something....
 
I can't find optimal messenger for me. So, I use stock app, and frequently testing another messengers. I want nice design, support for IM, transparent background, good search engine and many other. Application with my wishes probalby not exists :)
