textra

Textra is a third-party SMS/MMS messaging application for Android, developed by Delicious. It functions as an alternative to the device's built-in messaging app and uses the standard SMS and MMS protocols to send and receive messages.

The app emphasizes customization, offering a wide range of themes, color schemes, and bubble styles that can be applied per conversation. It supports multimedia messaging (MMS), group conversations, and features such as quick reply from notifications and the ability to schedule messages for later delivery.

Textra is available for Android devices and requires users to set it as the default SMS app to manage SMS/MMS on the device. It is not officially available for iOS.

Textra was introduced in the early 2010s and has since become a popular option among Android users seeking a customizable SMS experience. It is widely praised for its performance and extensive theming options, though as a third-party app it depends on the Android messaging APIs and updates from the developer.
