Textra SMS Customer Insights

1. Kind of a bummer.I love Textra and have been using it for the last couple years, but lately I've been having issues where some messages are not coming through, especially in group chats.

2. Also, to search a particular thread from someone rather than all messages would be nice too.I've been using Textra for many years.

3. Last, if your stuck with selecting one image at a time, it would be easier if the folder didn't close after selecting the first image.Update: Appears to have been borne from some sort of conflict with the Pixel Pro 7 T-Mobile update.

4. Will update the review when it's fixed.i have a dual Sim phone and would have to change my primary sms app in order to receive mms messages from the secondary sim.

5. it also integrates with bitmoji just fine.Been using Textra for years and years and loved it.

6. I'd like to see the ability to search for any links sent or received rather than having to scroll through a thread hoping you come across one.

7. However, one feature I miss that the app built into my phone has is that you can search through individual messages.

8. I switched from Google Messages and the experience has been flawless.

9. It woukd be great if a future upgrade included the agility ,&to select a default image location or move folder icons into your preferred order.

10. If I could search individual messages as well as all of them at once, I would be thrilled!I'm really liking this texting app.

11. It has seamlessly transitioned across multiple phones I've owned throughout the years, and the best part is that I don't have to go through the hassle of familiarizing myself with a new interface every time.

    2. On iPhone, goto AppStore » Your profile » Available Updates » Check for Textra SMS » click "UPDATE".

  • WHEN ATTACHING FILES TO MY TEXT MESSAGES USING THE + METHOD, I CANNOT SEND A PDF FROM MY DROPBOX FOLDER, BUT I CAN SEND THE SAME FILE IF IS A JPEG. THE FILE IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE IS 176KB. THE "WORKAROUND" IS TO FIRST GO TO MY DROPBOX FOLDER, SELECT THE FILE AND THEN "SHARE" IT, WHICH THEN PROVIDES A LINK FOR THE RECIPIENT. I HAVE ONLY TRIED SENDING TO MYSELF USING THE WORKAROUND MENTHOD, SO I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF I SEND IT AS A GROUP TEXT MESSAGE WHETHER OR NOT EACH RECIPIENT WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE FILE. THIS WORKAROUND IS INVONVENIENT, SO I AM WONDERING WHAT TEXTRA DOESN'T LIKE ABOUT PDFS?! I HAVE CALLED CONSUMER CELLULAR ANBD THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO SHED ANY LIGHT. IT SEEMS TO BE A TEXTRA ISSUE. I HOPE YOU CAN PROVIDE SOME ANSWERS. IS IT SOME KIND OW WEIRD GLITCH WITH CODE? THANKYOU.

    Can you help out here?

  • I love Textra however one constant issue since I've had it( which is awhile) is it won't let me send messages 50% of the time to groups. I constantly get the 3 red dots showing it won't go, then I get the '!!' message saying failed to send. It's annoying. My daughter had a group of ten she sends messages to and has no issues.

I've had Textra for a long the and enjoy the confidence of knowing my messages are being received. I can't keep the app if this continues. My business partners depend on me. I have a Google Pixel 6 pro. I hope this can be corrected. Thank you.

  • When I look at a delivered message in Textra, all times I've entered such as 10 am, 5 pm etc. are underlined in the delivered Textra bubble.
    I have checked everywhere on the cell, auto correct is turned off on my Android phone. I've checked all of my keyboard input settings. I've checked my Textra settings and I cannot find a spot to turn off this auto underlining of time.
    I am using a Samsung S21 Ultra running Android V12. Textra is V4.47.
    I'm only seeing this time underling in Textra delivered texts. I don't see the underline when I type the texts.
