Can anyone help with duplicate contacts in message +?
Here is what I had to do to get rid of the duplicates in messaging.
1. Go to Settings.
2. Go to Applications.
3. Go to Application manager.
4. Scroll the applications in the Application manager and find Message+.
5. Select Message+.
6. On the Message+ screen you'll see a "Clear Cache" button and a "Clear Data" button. Clicking these buttons will delete all current text messages, etc so if there are any you want to save you might want to find a way to back them up.
7. Click on the "Clear Cache" and "Clear Data" buttons.
8. Exit settings and start the Message+ app. Notice that it is starting up just like you are using it for the first time.
9. Create a new text message... Your contacts should be showing correctly now.
Hope this helps.

Hello Chris@1977! Duplicate contacts can be quite annoying and inconvenient. We'll help fix this asap. When did you first notice you had duplicate contacts? How long have you been using Verizon Messages? Is it all contacts, or only certain ones? We'll figure this out!

I have been using Message+ since it's inception. After I add a new contact
to my phone for calling purposes,when I use the Message+ app. All of the
contacts in message+ are in duplicate.

Chris@1977,That is certainly concerning! We want to make sure everything with your app works just the way you need it to. So all contacts on the phone are duplicated every time you add a new contact? Is this the case when checking contacts in other apps on the phone? When did this start?

The only app that shows duplicate contacts is Message+. For example,if I
add a new contact to my phone calling contacts,when I want to send that
person a text message,all the contacts in Message+ have the name & number
in duplicate.

This has been a problem since I upgraded to Message+ from the previous
Verizon Message app.
i will hop in on this since no one is replying to Verizon for a fix. i am having been using Message+ since i got the Galaxy s5 last year. this started happening for me (only on my phone) after i downloaded the message+ desktop app on my computer. i saw that not all my contacts are on the desktop app (which is a problem as well) and every time i add a new contact, when i search for someone in message+ (phone) single contacts are multiplying. i have went to google contacts and made sure there are no dups and went through Verizon Cloud to do the same. all contacts are synced with cloud and google.
I have had several inquiries from Verizon tech support, but all they ask is
the same repeated questions. When I upgraded to Message+ from Verizon,every
time I add a new contact to my phone contact list whenever I try to send a
text message and use the search bar to pick contact,every contact comes up
in duplicate. Had originally spoke to tech. Support on the phone and was
told that they were aware of the problem and working towards a fix. That
was several months ago.
corprum, Message+ is such a fun app to use. Our apologies it is duplicating your contacts for you. Let’s work together to fix this. In the app and on the desktop, are the same contacts duplicated? Do the two applications themselves match? Are there any patterns with the contacts that are duplicated like more that one phone number or email address?JenelleR_VZWFollow us on Twitter @VZWSupportIf my response answered your question please click the �Correct Answer� button under my response.

Hello,
It is just on the phone i have dups. they are a carbon copy of each other but there are no dups in my contacts. the dups only show up when i am typing in the name of the person in a new message. the message+ desktop does not have all the contacts from my phone for some reason as well id say only about 20% of them.
