    I am using it still, but honestly every update that I notice has made it more annoying to use - most recently adding extra confirmations to choose even a single image to send. It also hasn’t made proper support for message reactions yet, which is annoying since my contacts are increasingly using them in place of responses.

    My spouse gave up on it when it stopped sending images consistently for her, and their response was to blame an app that she did not even have for the issue.

    Unfortunately fossify messenger isn’t there yet for me either, and Google’s SMS feels horrible compared to textra now.

      I am with you on every one of these points. The image selection process is terrible now, where before it was quick & simple. And in the past couple of updates, sending larger images and gifs was sporadic until now I always get an error. I was happy when they added message reactions, then puzzled when they just stopped at six, half of which are rarely useful.

      I’ve been a paid user for years, but now I’m causally shopping for something else. If they’re giving up on their app, so am I.
