Check settings > MMS settings > APN (tap to retry) is the notification I am getting.

And my textra icon is continually getting more text which don't show up in my conversations.

This is on an LG G3. Go away apple fanboys.

And it eventually goes away, just like it appeared, all on its own?

They are very good at responding to emails/complaints. Either email them or post a bad review and they'll tell you to email them

I went back to the stock Android messenger after having this happen with numerous messaging apps. It ain't pretty, but at least it works.

I had this same problem, this fixed it for me.
Go to the phone's settings app (not Textra settings), more, mobile networks, access point names, tap on the phone that shows up. Copy down what they show in MMSC, MMS Proxy, and MMS Proxy Port. Then go back to Textra settings, MMS Settings, check Manually Configure APN, and enter what you wrote down. Hope this works

I've had it before but not recently. I had a failed to send, touch to re send message yesterday and routinely people don't get pictures I text them.

I used to have issues with this all the time. I think I fixed it by lowering the size limit in my text messages.

Doss anyone else not get a preview bubble on the main screen anymore when a text comes in? I only get the little t notification at the top and have to swipe down to see the preview or click on it

What does it say for you when you go to:

Settings > Defaults for Notifications > Floating Notifications (Unlocked/locked)

Hmmm. What about in Notification Privacy down at the bottom? Are Show Contact/Show Message checked?

That's weird, man. I guess I'd try turning floating notifications off then back on (for both unlocked and locked). If that doesn't work, try re-installing the app.

Not sure what else to do other than that.
