Did you know you can change the display name of contacts in our web and desktop apps? You can also add a standardized pic, if you don’t use a contact photo for this person on your phone.
Just click on the avatar next to the contact name. A new window will appear, where you can change the web display name. Additionally, you can choose from eight different standardized pics.
We are very glad to announce that we have already synced more than half a billion text & multimedia messages in our mysms cloud. Especially in the last few months, the number of messages has exploded on all platforms which makes us truly proud. But not only the amount of messages has been growing fast, also the number of users. You probably have noticed that more and more mysms friends show up in your mysms app.
mysms is growing increasingly
We’re currently available in over 200 countries worldwide and provide our apps in seven different languages. Just a short note: We would enjoy translating our apps in more languages. So, if you are a talented linguistic and if you’re interested in helping us on a long term basis, just contact us. Since the start of the Android and the Web App in June 2011, we have been improving our app constantly and we’re currently providing our app for eight different mobile and desktop platforms. That enables you to send and receive text messages truly platform independent on any device.
Well, we hope that you enjoy our app as much as we do. Now check out our mysms infographic to get to know our most important milestones:

Of course, we’ve got a new one for you today:
If you get a new mobile with a new number, you do not need to worry about your texts. Just download mysms on your new phone, login with your previous number and wait until the sync of your messages has completely finished. Afterwards, the last 1000 messages are sync’d from the mysms cloud to your new phone and all your other messages will still be visible on the web. Finally, update your number in the mysms settings. Simply click on “edit account information” and enter your new phone number.

We are very excited to share our latest news with you. mysms now integrates with Evernote – a cloud service that helps you remember everything. The integration with Evernote enables you full archiving of text messages from any of our mobile applications directly to the cloud.
mysms integrates with Evernote
From the beginning our goal was to provide you with a service that frees your text messages from your mobile phone to the cloud. Being able to send and receive your text messages on all of your devices is the core of our product and the main reason why many of you love mysms. However, what was clearly missing was a searchable and portable archive for your messages – until now.
For most of us text messages are closely tied to your personal life. We share our most important moments by sending pictures, reach out for help when we need it or simply say hello when it’s been a while that we haven’t met a good friend.
When we are searching for an old message that contains an address, name or phone number that we desperately need, our messages become more than just a text. They become an extension of our memory. That is why Evernote is the ideal partner for us.
Once you connect your mysms account with Evernote, every new text message you send or receive will be automatically saved to your Evernote notebook called “mysms”. Every message thread with one of your contacts will be stored in a separate note. If your text messages include pictures, videos or other attachments, these files will also be saved to your Evernote notebook (without any size limits that you need to keep in mind). Within Evernote searching your texts is simple and easy, even if you are looking for a text in threads with a huge amount of messages.
Here is a quick tutorial on how to connect your mysms account with Evernote. If you need further help you can always reach out to us on our community page.
We are very excited about this release, and are curious what you think about it. Let us know in the comments!
