Messages Improved is an upgrade to the default SMS app that came with your phone. In addition to the basic texting (SMS/MMS) functionality, we offer secure end-to-end encrypted RCS data messaging, similar to what iMessage offers to iPhones. You get the best of all worlds, and a rich set of features like full customization, folders and labels, and the next generation of messaging tools unique to our app.
We’ve built the most complete messaging app for all Android users. Everything is free, with no unwanted ads. We hope to help set the standard for messaging that’s been missing for Androids.
When texting non-Messages Improved users, our app works like the standard texting app and messages are SMS or MMS. If your contact is also a user of Messages Improved (or an RCS 2.0-enabled app) and connected to the internet, messages will be RCS, or Rich Communication Services.
RCS is the upgrade to SMS which makes it possible to send large videos, higher quality pictures and GIFs to other app users using WIFI or internet data. In addition, our RCS is end-to-end encrypted, making your conversations with other users secure.
RCS is a standard from the GSMA that allows different messaging apps to all interoperate or chat with one another. As others open up their implementation, we will make our app compatible, so that you can use our app to message with apps like Android Messages and get all the rich features of RCS. We’re also working with phone operators and manufacturer partners.
In addition, we offer an optional community and AI to match you with what you’re looking for, potentially saving $ on your mobile bill and enabling you to earn extra money!
Key Messaging Features:
- Fully customizable with color themes, backgrounds and bubble styles
- Encrypted RCS chat for secure and free international messaging
- Conversations automatically organized into folders (Inc. spam) and custom labels
- Schedule messages or cancel them before they send
- Audio / Voice messages
With our app, you’ll have the added option to join our community of users where we match you with information, services or products you are looking for, as you text about it.
THE STREAM: Once enabled, there is a “stream” attached to each conversation. The stream combines the best of social media and the internet, where you are given recommendations for content, answers and information related to your conversation, but in a separate screen so it’s not annoying. Just swipe left to access it.
Want to sublet your apartment, sell some of your things or have spare time to teach or earn extra cash? Once you message to your contacts about it, you can “ask others” via campaigns. When others text about something that matches your campaign, they could see your campaign in their stream.
You can create a campaign just by tapping the “ask others” option in your message. Or go to the “Campaign” tab and tap the “+” sign in the bottom right corner.
When you engage with campaigns, you're rewarded with credits that can be used to add data from your mobile service plan.
No personal information is collected by us aside from your telephone number, which is needed for user authentication and to send/receive messages.
Users have the added option to enable an AI assistant, Mei, which analyzes conversations to give personalized advice and intelligence. If chosen, messages are uploaded to Mei’s systems, enable the AI to also use messages to allow better matching of campaigns.
Messages Improved is compatible with MightyText, Pushbullet and mySMS for desktop and web access (our own desktop version is coming soon). Our app syncs with any Android smartwatch, watch or wearable.
