From the listing uploaded by “bananalaa”.

SMS from Android 4.4 is built to give you a smoother, better, faster, and cleaner Android messaging experience. Send text messages, pictures, recordings, and much more. The text app delivers text messages directly via the mobile network, so no Internet or Wi-Fi connection is needed*. You can change the text message view from a modern clean style to a retro classic design of SMS messaging from Android 4.4. Chat Bubbles allow you to see your latest SMS text message instantly on your screen without the need to open the app. You can move the bubble around the screen, tap it to view the whole conversation or drag it to the bottom to close it. This feature can be turned on/off in Settings. The SMS Reminders feature lets you write an SMS, then select a specific location on a map. The app will detect when you have arrived at the specified location and send the text message automatically. With this smart message app, you will never have to do more than click a button to identify an unknown number from an SMS or phone call. The Caller ID screen after each call displays information on who is calling, even if they are not in your phonebook. This way, you can avoid spam calls and easily save new contacts to your phonebook with just one click.

The Text Messenger App APK: questions and answers

Is there a version of The Text Messenger App for older Android phones?

The current version needs Android 6.0 or later. Version 4.4.260 is the newest listed build that installs on Android 4.1 and later. It is an old build: apps that rely on online services may no longer connect when they are this old. Get version 4.4.260 · All versions

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is The Text Messenger App APK safe?
