They really didn’t have to redesign a text box. Please stop reinventing the wheel. I don’t need another pop up in my life.
It’s impressive how modern companies with thousands of professional designers manage to make increasingly goofy designs lol
I paid for Textra over a decade ago, and it’s easily the best money I’ve ever spent. It’s the best texting app I’ve ever used and I highly recommend everyone check it out. They still churn out updates regularly and the features are above and beyond most messaging apps.
Can Textra handle RCS yet? I bought it ages ago but ditched it when it couldn’t handle RCS
I’ve been reading articles for years about how Google say they’re going to open the RCS API to 3rd-Party apps but they have yet to do so.
Apparently Textra itself doesn’t support desktop sync like Google’s app, but there are workarounds.
However, does Textra support RCS?
It doesn’t support RCS because Google’s implementation of it (with encryption) is not open.
This doesn’t seem correct. RCS is supposed to be supported by you mobile provider, if it isn’t only then your messaging app on Android will use Google’s service. The whole protocol was meant to be open to entice companies to adopt it.
I understand Google dropped don’t be evil, but they are not a villain in every story.
I don’t know how to edit the main post on mobile so I’ll just add this comment. The message I typed in the screenshot populates in a “pop up bar”. The message no longer gets entered where you think it should go and it looks like shit and takes up extra screen space for no reason. I really dislike this change.
They fixed it. It’s back to normal now.
