Can't Save Avatar after Verizon Messages Upgrade

rmiller1959

After the Verizon Messages upgrade, my avatar disappeared and when I try to save a picture to replace it, it doesn't work. I select a picture, crop it if necessary and save it, but when I return to the panel where my profile resides, the avatar is still blank and the Tap to Set Photo prompt remains.

The bug report is below.

Let's get to the bottom of this. Have you tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it?

Yes, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and I've restarted the phone multiple times.

I will add that if I try to add a picture directly from the Gallery, it doesn't show up in the circle, but the app thinks there's a picture there because it gives me the option to save it. Once I save it, however, the "Tap to Set Photo" prompt reappears on the main profile screen as if nothing had happened.

If I go to an app, however, (OneDrive, in this case) and download the picture from there, the photo is visible and I have the option to position the picture in the circle, and the positioned picture in the circle is visible before I save it. Once I save it, however, it disappears and the "Tap to Set Photo" prompt reappears on the main profile screen.

I appreciate the additional information provided rmiller1959. This will definitely help us get to the bottom of your avatar concerns. Does this happen with every picture you try to set as an avatar? When did you last update the Verizon Message+ app? Have you verified the app is up to date?

Thank You,

Hi, MichelleS_VZW

I've tried to set other photos as avatars with the same result. For whatever reason, once I hit Save, the picture disappears. I don't remember the exact date, but I'm sure I uninstalled and reinstalled the app within the week. I checked the Version number and it's the latest, Version 6.4.5.

I hope this is helpful. I really like the app and would like to get it to work as it has in the past. Many thanks!
