It doesn't show contact names anymore. When I open the app it shows the contacts for a second and then only shows the phone number anymore! But the app definitely has access to the contacts and uses it, because I can type in the contact name in the search function and it shows me the threats!
Not impressed with this app from HTC. No thread view background wallpaper option. No black theme for us night owls. Doesn't disable notifications completely (can still read full message from drop down notification bar), even when disabled. Doesn't allow automatic link previews. Having to use another sms app. On the plus side, I love the phone U11 😍📱
My favorite messaging app so far. The ability to delete messages by selection is a basic ability, yet Android Messages can't do it. Themeing works well, and secure box is useful. Overall fantastic. Please don't abandon this Sense app like you are with all the other Sense apps!
Didn't have this as default messenger app because message+ had a nicer layout. But then I seen that it had spam blocking and lord knows I have been getting a lot of them, so I made messages my default app. Just to find out that I am not able to turn on the blocking settings. I am in the market to find a better default texting app.
All of my texts were randomly deleted from my phone. I backed up my data but nothing saved. I'm not getting any response from the developer and HTC has no clue what happened. Don't use this app.
I have been using HTC phones for ever, I was always happy with it. I had to replace my HTC U11 phone with another HTC U11, same phone same number, but this phone isn't receiving third party messages. Like I'm unable to install any new apps on this phone or sign up on my old apps (facebook, linkin, indeed, messenger, venmo, etc) bcs I am unable to receive the text codes they send to this phone. Please help. I will like to be able to disable this app and use a different one since isn't working!
It automatically converts SMS to MMS and I am then charged by my service provider. Not good, it should allow large text and emoji to be sent with SMS.
very few features. glitchy. fails to send. fails to retrieve. very undependable.
Simple. Has everything you need, and id the easiest and most practical to use for dual sim phones.
urgent case in hTC u11+ it sends SMS multiple times randomly the app thinks that it failed to send so it tries to send it itself multiple times specially when I am in 3g or 4g mode
no longer has badge on icon that shows unread count. gets very slow if thread has lots of saved messages.
This is the best sms stock I've ever used! The best feature is the block contact. It works perfectly!
I can not send messages now, they all say message could not be sent. I get a red triangle for SMS and a red exclamation mark for mms. should I uninstall and install?
never thought that HTC can allow such an app to be installed in the phone as default. just plain useless.
HTC should add "mark as read" at notification beside reply and snooze. This will make the app simple yet functional.
This app suddenly no longer sends or receives photos. why? I didn't change anything.
I still can't receive pictures on my messages. Even had someone from a store try to fix it.
Please add more different bubble shapes and better color. The ones you have now suck.
Won't open, keeps giving an error message since the update.
I am hating this messaging app because I have HTC One M9 android 7.0 , Whenever I send a message it starts Saying status: "pending" and After an hour it sends it wth ???
Can't send gifs or stickers. Says messages doesn't support image insertion here.
unread notification badge doesn't work in my htc u ultra even though in the settings, it is enabled
Is it support RCS messages? And if it does how to setup it? Thank you for your support.
Glitches all the time. Screen flashes and stops me mid text
there is no option for sms sending in default sim always choose sim 1 ir sim 2 in htc u11
App stopped working.Can't text & have lost all text.
Mysteriously deleted almost all texts after restarting my phone!
Why do I never get notifications when I receive a new sms
Needs to include voice messages as well
This HTC text message app hasn't really changed since the first HTC I bought 10 years ago. Works fine, it should after years of use with no real feature updates, but it just lacks some basic features and options. I currently use the Pulse messaging app, but there are many with different looks and feel. Don't be afraid to delete the HTC app and use another. You can always reinstall if you want, but I don't think you will after trying something more modern...
