Texts supports a wide array of messaging platforms including iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, MessengerX, Instagram, LinkedIn, Slack, and Discord DMs.
Texts prioritizes privacy above all. The user's messages never touch the Texts servers. Instead, they are encrypted and sent directly to the respective messaging platforms.
The chat summary feature in Texts provides automated summaries of ongoing conversations. It allows users to quickly catch up on the conversation without having to read through every single message.
The 'AI draft responses' feature in Texts is powered by ChatGPT. It helps users save time by drafting responses for them directly in Texts.
The 'message translation' feature in Texts serves to break down language barriers. Users can compose a response in their native language and let the AI translate it into their preferred language.
Texts' 'Stealth Mode' allows users to open and read messages without notifying the sender. This provides an added layer of privacy for users.
Texts offers a 'message scheduling' feature that lets users schedule messages to be sent when people are active. This ensures that messages are sent at the most appropriate time.
Texts makes its money through a monthly subscription model. It is committed to privacy and does not use customer data to generate profit.
Messages never touch Texts servers and are sent directly to platforms, preserving end-to-end encryption. The app works like the official app does.
Texts runs entirely on device while Beeper runs on cloud. A combined app with best features of both is in development.
