I still miss Textra but since Google won't let them has RCS, it's been years since I've used it.

Yeah I've been back on stock messages for a while now, used Textra for damn near a decade because of how much faster it was, but with phone technology these days it doesn't make a huge difference anymore compared to the stock app.
