Switched right back after a short while. Textra was just so much more fluid and customizable. Can give colors to the bubbles and assign to friends. Can use the enter/return button on keyboard to send text. Messages makes you reach up to hit that little send button. Want to call someone out of a text, swipe left, push phone. On messages, have to open text up, then hit phone at top of screen. Just little things.

Just wish Textra could use Gemini and RCS

My Samsung does this through themes.

No RCS no care, useless. Just big things.

I switched from Textra to Google messages about 8 months ago.

Never looked back.

I am confused by this. Do you have a screenshot?

I've used textra for years but I've never experimented with color bubbles. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

With Messages and RCS, video comes in clear from other RCS users including Iphones with the latest update.

Not a deal breaker for me but I as absolutely hate not being able to use the enter key to send

Open a conversation, click on the downward arrow in upper right hand corner, Select customize chats. Click on bubble colors.
