It has a pop up window that appears when your phone is off so you don't need to unlock your phone, go into the messenger, then text back. I find that convenient. And another one is SwiftKey keyboard. Again I think it's alot cleaner and more smooth. You can change themes and other cool things like your stats for typing... Just my 2 cents

I downloaded something called "Textra" and use that instead. Way better than the regular one. So much customization on your layout, faster at sending larger files, better for group messaging. You can also text/call people or receive them without having to close another app your on, like facebook for example.

- Scrolling through facebook, someone texts you, the text pops up (but doesnt cover the whole screen, and you can still see facebook in the background), you respond and the texting app disappears on its own and you resume where you were.

Not sure how your regular messaging app is, but it might be worth looking into.

I guess we both agreed on the same app.

I didn't see you already mentioned it. Lol.
