How do I stop Verizon Message+ from notifying me I'm connected over wifi?

I started using Verizon Message+ due to the fact that it allows messaging over wifi.

The problem is that it creates a notifications every couple minutes on my Galaxy S6 telling me that it's connected to wifi, which causes my smart band to vibrate.

Currently I've setup my smart band to not vibrate for notifications from Verizon Message+, otherwise I get a vibration on my wrist every couple of minutes.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Let's get these wi-fi notifications disabled once and for all klh15. If you tap on Verizon Messages app and select settings at the top left of the screen<settings<scroll down and tap on Advanced<ensure Enable Network Notifications is not checked off< ensure Improve location is not checked off. Keep us updated.

Greetings Greg,
Great question and definitely hope it didn't cause you too much distress. You can actulaly power off wifi notifications. The issue is the notifications are not coming from Verizon Messages but from the phone itself. On your phone go to settings > wifi > More (upper right corner) > advanced > uncheck wifi notifications.Now you won't get notifications wifi is available but you won't get notifications it's connected either.
Hope this helps.

Hey Matthew,

Thank you for the response.

The first day I received the phone I turned off wifi notifications (and I doubled check it after you mentioned it here). I've tried turning that setting on and off again and it still continues to notify me that it's connected over wifi.

If it only notified me when I first connected to the wifi, that wouldn't be much of an issue. The problem is that regardless of whether or not I swipe away the notification about message+ being connected over wifi, it will still trigger another notification in 2-5 minutes.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling updates on message+, but sadly that didn't change anything.

If you have something else you'd like me to try, just let me know.

Thanks,

Greg

Hello Gregen11

This is an interesting one. Try putting the phone in Safe Mode to see if any other apps are perhaps causing the problem. Then add them back one by one. We're here for you for all your concerns.

I'm getting this same notification. It is a message plus notification and not a android system generated notification.
