So im not sure if this is at all possible but its worth a shot for asking. In the stock messaging app you are able to enable group convo chats. That being said I tested out this function and I noticed that out going messages do in fact send as a group message but anything that is incoming appears in there own separate thread for the individual person. So my question is if there is a way to fix this bug and make them appear in its original group chat thread?
i too would love to see this built into the stock messaging app. i downloaded go sms to allow the iphone like group chat, but prefer the stock app

Hey Guys,
Does anyone know of an app in the android app world that will combine multiple messaging platforms into main?
Mainly I'm looking to combine whatsapp and sms messaging.
Thanks.

Disa is a messaging app that does just this.
It's in Beta, so you won't be able to find it just in the PlayStore.
Go to Google+ and search for Disa. Join their beta test and you should be good to go.
Disa was pretty nice, but I couldn't handle the way the group messaging with MMS was setup.
They may have fixed that by now. I couldn't tell you, but the app was really neat and combined SMS and Whatsapp.

Greetings,
I have this app called "Messaging 7" (from app store) which if you are aware, is really an awesome windows messaging app. I like its simplicity and have used it before kitkat update.
The problem is, im currently running kitkat in my HTC device and it's annoying that I cannot set it as default sms app. Therefore, everytime I receive a new text message, it will not mark as read until I open it on the device's default sms app. Kinda annoying, I can disable the notification from other sms app, but again, I need to figure out how to set the Messaging 7 app as default.
It is observed that the developer of the said sms app no longer works in it. So I'm thinking that there maybe a work around or solution with this since the app was created before kitkat update. Some other updated SMS apps i have tried to install appears on the selection for default app (from settings) and so I guess there's just need somthing to modify in it?
Any help will be very much appreciated. I really want this messaging app. :good::highfive:

put application in system/app with name mms.apk, and first backup original sms aplication (mms.apk)
Hello, I have installed Google Messenger to replace the default MIUI SMS app, I have set it as default and gave it all the permissions on security and app settings, however Messenger app doesn't show any of my previous SMS & MMS that I received on MIUI's app... On all the other Android's I used, installing a new app would automatically show all the previous SMS I had on the phone, not sure why this one isn't...
Any help on how can I "import" the previous messages to the messenger app?
UPDATE: I was able to backup and restore the SMS and MMS using a SMS/MMS Backup app and it was able to get all the messages, but still after the restore the messenger app won't show them
There is english bug forum on MIUI website, there are also 3 reported bugs on different devices about missing SMS in Google Messenger. But because of low votes there are no progress. I can't give you a link (since I am new user) but you can easily found them by searching for "Google Messenger" in their forum. And up vote to speed up the fixing process.

Any chance of adding support for Disa? I don't use whatsapp or facebook messenger (hate the added bloatware and battery drain for messenger) so i use Disa. My texts also go through this - this would be the missing feature (chat heads) for me and i would happily get the pro version if you supported this! @Gurjot95
Textra and Kik

Yes, I will try to add all the messengers that can be supported. If there is more demand for one messenger it will be done sooner than the one with less users. But every popular messenger will be added with time.

Kik is already supported and Textra is already on top of my priority list along with Viber.
I am planning to add new chat styles in the pro version along with new themes. Any more suggestions or requests will be gladly taken as this app is still in early stages. I just hope more people can give their feedbacks so I can get the encouragement to continue with development of this app.

Hike doesn't support reply feature as of yet so best I can do is to only receive messages.

Thanks a lot. I tried adding Viber but reply seems to only work when there is one unread message. If there are multiple unread messages and you try to reply, Viber will crash however though your message will still be sent from my app successfully. I'll see what I can do.

Purchased pro as promised - this may seem like a long list/nag but it's really not, i love the app!
1) Is it possible to replace notifications for the app that is being handled? e.g, for disa, i have now silenced notifications for the disa app (level 1 on Android 7 if you have power controls enabled), and although a chat head appears, it doesn't vibrate, or make a noise so i miss my notifications - possibility to add a feature for this? to get a notification/notification noise & vibration when i message is picked up via your app?
2) DnD Mode - like that it has an override toggle, that's a plus - but it should, in combination with the above, respect Android's DnD Mode - so if my phone is in DnD mode, mute or activate vibrate only notifications.
3) The notification thing again - if your app handles notifications like the above, notifications created would show up on the lock screen and notification bar, and when clicked open the relevant chat head associated with that notification.
4) History. If i restart my phone and receive a text through disa at least, there is no history. If someone texts me back the word "no" i'm thinking - "no what?" until i open the main disa app to check. Could be stored locally on the device encrypted with a backup and restore option for security.
That seems like a long list of things or a nag, but like i said it's not, and i still love the app hence i purchased pro. Happy to support you, and the fact i got a response so fast is great. Keep up the good work man!

Can you please tell me your device name. I also assume your android version is Nougat? My app requires system overlay (draw over other apps) permission so maybe some settings in your ROM is disabling it. If you are getting any error message and there is button to send the error report then please do it.

Thanks a lot for purchasing the pro version. Regarding the issues -
1. There is a settings in my app which lets you clear notification automatically if chathead appears. This will make your phone vibrate as usual when Disa Notification appears but will be cleared itself when its chathead pops up. I think it will serve your purpose. First unsilence the Disa Notification so your phone vibrates and then go to App Settings and enable Clear Notification Option. When this option is checked, you won't need to clear original notification yourself.
2. DND Mode only disables new chatheads to appear for the time you set. So this really shouldn't interfere with Android default DND mode as my app doesn't produce any sounds when ChatHeads appear. Again, I think Clear Notification option will help.
3. I will add notifications on Lock Screen in future updates. It's already in To-Do list.
4. Chat History is important feature too that is reserved for upcoming updates. Didn't wanna rush it since only those messages will be stored that appears on ChatHead. So for example if are chatting in Disa, new message notification from Disa won't be shown because you have already opened that individual conversation and since my app depends on notifications to read messages, those messages will be lost and chat history will be confusing. I have to find a workaround this.
These actually are good questions so feel free to ask more if you have any. I am all up for suggestions. Your feedback is what will make this app popular. Cheers!
Unfortunately not working for me too. I am running Slim6 MM on a Samsung S5 Mini. The testhead is working fine, but no head from any messenger. Granted all permissions and display overlay.
