AI-Powered Replies:
Stuck on what to say? TextNest's built-in AI companion drafts replies in seconds, with tone options like Friendly, Formal, or Casual — so you always hit the right note.

Organize with Categories:
No more endless scrolling through a messy inbox. Group your contacts and conversations into custom categories — Work, Spam, Promotions, or anything you dream up. Add colors and icons to spot them at a glance.

Lock Private Conversations:
Keep sensitive chats safe with a passcode or biometric lock. You can even lock individual categories, so only you can open them.

Schedule SMS:
Never forget an important message again. Line up texts to send at just the right moment — birthdays, reminders, follow-ups — all handled for you.

Smart Alerts:
Follow the topics you care about — Sports, Finance, Technology, Entertainment, and more. Curated news alerts land right inside your messaging app.

Block, Silence & Backup:
Block unwanted numbers, silence specific contacts without blocking them, and back up your messages for peace of mind.

Clean, Modern Design:
TextNest is built to feel effortless. A simple, intuitive interface that keeps your messages front and center.

Set TextNest as your default SMS app and experience messaging the way it should be — smart, organized, and private. ## Rankings - #611,071 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_CELL_BROADCASTS` - `android.permission.READ_CONTACTS` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VIDEO` - `android.permission.READ_PHONE_NUMBERS` - `android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE` - `android.permission.READ_SMS` - `android.permission.READ_SUBSCRIPTION_INFO` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_MMS` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_WAP_PUSH` - `android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO` - `android.permission.SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM` - `android.permission.SEND_SMS` - `android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC` - `android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS` - `android.permission.WRITE_SMS` - `com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` - `com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES` - `com.textnest.app.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` - `com.transsion.dataservice.permission.READ` - `com.transsion.dataservice.permission.WRITE` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Messages: SMS AI Text Writer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.pitech.messageapp) — 17,553 users - [Messages: AI Text & SMS Chat](https://chrome-stats.com/d/messenger.s4.sms.message.text.mensajes.mesaje.mensagem.chat) — 2,230 users - [Messages: SMS Text Messaging](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.inboxly.messages) — 85 users - [Messages Text SMS](https://chrome-stats.com/d/messages.chatsms.freechatmsg) — 1,298,580 users, 4.44 / 5 - [Messages: SMS Texting Home App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.smsmessenger.textchat.securesms.easymessenger) — 832,097 users, 4.30 / 5 - [Messages AI: SMS & AI Writer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.messages.textmessage.allsms.messagingapp.textsmsapp) — 18,550 users, 4.11 / 5 - [Messages: SMS & Text Message](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.messaging.chatapp.textsms.smsmessenger) — 894 users - [Messages – Smart Chat & SMS](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.smart.messages.sms.chat) — 24,294 users, 4.10 / 5 - [Messages: SMS Message Text App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.fastmessages.sms.messaging) — 244 users - [Messages Text SMS App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.textmessages.smsmessages) — 130,574 users - [SMS Manager](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.redwert.smsmanager) — 1,074 users - [Messages - Texting and SMS App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.textmessages.sms.messenger) — 70 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.textnest.app)
