Text messaging apps

[RL_N_ANGEL]

Why does my phone keep asking which text message app i want to use? I have my default set to message+.  And how can I stop this from happening?

Did this start after an update?

After you checked all your settings did you restart the phone?

Do you have any other messaging apps on your phone?

If you only have what came with the phone you may want to disable the other app.

Yes I did all of that

RL_N_ANGEL, let's figure out what's causing this message to pop up when you text! Do you have any other text message app installed on your device? When you see this message pop up, does it give the option of "just this once" and "always"? This can set it to automatically choose Verizon Messages+ each time you text, rather than just for that specific message.

It started after update even though the other preload messaging app is disabled. And default is set to message+. I have restarted several times

Thanks for the information, RL_N_ANGEL. What make/model phone do you have? Do you get the same message if you put your device into safe mode?
