App to trim text messages? (SMS) - Other Tools & General Discussion

The only app I've found that can do this doesn't work on recent versions of Android. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.jads.android.messagecleanup
Is there another app that can delete all but the 50 or so recent text messages? I don't want them deleted for being old or deleting all of them.

Stock messaging. Removing contacts shown

I'm using the stock messaging app and I'm getting tired of typing in who I want to text only to receive a whole list of facebook people and gmail email addresses.
I only want to see my gmail phone contacts.
I have it set this way under contacts itself.
But going to messaging then the contact lIst from there just lIsts everything possible.
Any way to address this?
Thanks

Downloading text messages

Is there a way I can save or download a text conversation I've had to say a word pad or my computer?
Thanks!

I have been using SMS Backup+ for around 4 years. It is free and backs up everything to gmail as conversations or emails.

Group texts?

Looking to send a group text on my Nexus 5.
I created the group in People, it has 7 people, but how do I send to them?
The group doesn't show up in hangouts, any ideas?

I don't think the groups in contacts work for sending messages. You can add multiple people to a text to create a mms or you can send a text to a circle.

Sony SW2 Whatsapp

There are plenty of notifiers out there for the SW2, some work well and some apparently not so good. What I am wondering is whether anyone has developed a whatsapp application that actually allows you to reply to messages, perhaps by using preset messages in the same fashion that the sms app allows you to?
Good question. Wondering the same thing.. Either whatsapp or even better-- hangouts.

I believe that currently the only way to do these (and many other similar) things is to use Tasker. You would need to create a Tasker task to reply to Hangouts messages with pre-defined texts, and then trigger that from the watch

Spam text messages

Hello.
I get a lot of spam text messages and I want to filter them out based on certain keywords. I am currently using Google hangouts. Is there any way I could block or filter them. I'd prefer that I keep using hangouts and not install a new messaging app.

Unfortunately no, you cannot with google hangouts.
Also, google hangouts MAY soon be dropping SMS support so you will need to install a new messaging app eventually.
