Save and secure restoring of your messages

Save and secure restoring of your messages

With mysms you have your messages right at hand anytime and on all your devices. From the time you have successfully registered for a mysms account on your Android phone, all your existing messages are saved in the mysms cloud and, of course, also new ones will be added immediately. This means your messages are always kept in sync and up to date on your smartphone, computer and tablet.

 

But what if you lose your phone or need to do a factory reset? No worries when you use mysms. We know that your messages are very important to you. That’s why your texts are secured in the mysms cloud and can be restored anytime. You only need to install mysms once again and login with your existing mysms account as well as the same Google account. If you also got a new number, you can change it in the mysms settings after the restore of your messages has finished. And voilà you will find your last 1,000 messages again on your phone and, of course, on all your other devices too.

 

This feature is exclusively available for mysms Premium users. Activate mysms Premium in the mysms settings on your Android phone to get started right away. You’ll find more information on mysms Premium on our website.

mysms and Apple’s iMessage update

Posted in mobile news, mysms news by mysms

As you might know, Apple announced an update for its iMessage application at the WWDC yesterday.

 

Some of our users and supporters contacted us, because they thought Apple’s new functionality looks like what mysms has offered for years, and were wondering if this changes anything for mysms.

 

What’s important here is that Apples messages app is offered only to iOS users. Our goal has always been to bring cloud-based messaging to all your devices, and we don’t want to restrict ourselves to any platform or device. Nevertheless, mysms was often referred to as “iMessage for Android” in the past. Today, Android is still our top smartphone platform and mysms takes full advantage of the Android operating system with custom notifications, themes, plugins, widgets and much, much more. These features allow you to adapt mysms to your specific needs and this won’t change in future.

 

We have a lot more to show you in the upcoming weeks and are already looking forward to tell you more about it 🙂

In case you’re unhappy with the standard font size, you can easily enlarge or minimize it. Go to the mysms settings on your Android phone, scroll down to “Other settings” and tap on “Font size”. On the next screen you can choose from the sizes small, medium and large.

 

We hope you like this improvement!

With the support of Android 4.4 KitKat, we’ve implemented the feature to send regular MMS on any device. Do you want to know how many MMS you send within a month? Just have a look at the overview of your MMS usage in the mysms settings.

As mentioned in one of our previous quick tips, the menu “SMS & MMS usage” can be found under “Sending messages” in the mysms settings on your Android phone. To keep track of the amount of sent MMS, we added the overview of your MMS usage. This allows you to have both your sent SMS as well as MMS under control. In addition you can check how many messages you’ve sent directly from your phone and how many you’ve sent remotely (via your desktop, tablet, web).

 

How many messages do you send on average during one month? We would be very curious 🙂

[quick tip] (De-)activate toast message “Your text has been sent”

Posted in mysms quick tips by mysms

Toast messages serve as a confirmation that a specific action has been completed. Within the mysms Android phone app these notifications are available for sent messages both via your mobile carrier and via mysms friends. With today’s quick tip we’d like to show how to (de-)activate these messages.

Toast message

Toast message

We provide you with a toast notification for messages to let you know that the sending process of a message has been completed. This notification appears in a grey box on the bottom of the app with the note “Your text has been sent”.

Basically, this message confirms that the message has been sent successfully. It can be useful when you send messages on your desktop or tablet or when you have a poor mobile signal. Anyway, some of you asked for an option to disable it. Especially when you text a lot it can be annoying, if you receive this toast message while composing another reply or new message (as it overlays the keyboard). That’s why we’ve implemented a new setting. Under “Expert settings” in the mysms Android phone app, you’ll find an option called “Show toast message”. If you disable it, the toast message won’t be displayed any longer when sending a message.

 

We are always trying to improve our app by including your suggestions. Therefore, we’d like to thank our community for that feedback!
