Hi. Is there an app available that has a larger box to compose messages in using Android? There was in the past which I think was the stock messaging app. I find the box now is just too small to use. I have a Samsung S6. I hope this makes sense and thanks for any help.

The box gets bigger as you type on the S6. I just tried and got to 13 lines before I got bored?

Perhaps you mean something else?

Yeah, I'm not really sure what you mean.
Can you elaborate?

Thought you were talking about character limits?

I'm so sorry I didn't make myself clear on what I meant.

It's the old Android SMS app which has a black background. Here is a photo of what I mean.

I hope that makes it a bit clearer for everyone.

Thanks.

I'm sorry but you aren't very clear about what you want. As you type the S6 text box gets bigger to accommodate what you are typing.
You are after a bigger text box but the old Samsung version you've posted a shot of holds less text before scrolling.
Are you after a larger font?

Why does it matter how big the text box is? as long as you dont run out of characters you just keep typing?

I've come to the conclusion that the app I'm after just doesn't exist anymore and please excuse me for starting up such a ridiculous thread I was probably having a 'blonde moment' at the time.

Thank you everyone for trying to help me it's very much appreciated.
