Is there going to be a Message+ update that supports Mac Monterey? I just updated my 2015 MBP and it now instantly crashes on start. Even though it's always been a crashy product, I use it a lot on my MBP. I would not have updated to Monterey if I had known that Message+ would not work.
Thanks
We want you to get the most from the Message+ service, usmaak. Thanks for reaching out but sorry to hear about the issues after the update. Is the application updated with the latest version as well? What other issues have you been experiencing? Looking forward to hearing back. -Chris
I updated the application. I also deleted it and reinstalled it. It still crashes upon starting. I've always had stability issues with it. It crashes pretty often and gets very slow sometimes.
What is the current software version of your Mac?-Joel
12.0.1
Updated Yes. Completely deleted and reloaded Messages + App with same results. What I am experiencing is the App will not open. Keeps generating an error report.
is Verizon support going to provide any info on this or let this problem grow?
I was able to get it working on macOS Monterey (12.0.1) by changing this setting:
Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Contacts: Uncheck "Message+"
I can't see contacts's names anymore but the application does work again. The specific error messages in the console are:

Thayer...Many Thanks for this info. I did uncheck the Message+ and it worked. Thanks, Bill
That is allowing me to use the app again as well. Good catch. Now Verizon needs to update the app so that we have access to our contacts again. I looked and it's been a couple of months since Verizon updated the app so Monterey wasn't public yet but Monterey for software developers should have been available for them to do some testing.
Now that the app is running I've also noticed that it doesn't seem to be updating with new messages. All of the messages are from before the update to Monterey. Nothing new has come in.
It did finally update with the new messages but it crashed before that happened. After the crash, I reopened the app and the new messages were there.
It's very important that we are reviewing this with you, please send us a Private Note. *Gen
Not sure why you need a private note. Message+ needs to be updated to make it work with MacOS Monterey. Allowing Message+ to access the contact list causes Message+ to crash.
We want to do everything we can to ensure your Message + is working correctly. A private message has been sent to assist you further.-Sean
I too cannot use Message+ with Mac on Monterey. Exact same problem. Just installed it, and try to open it and it immediately crashes and sends error report to Apple. If I deny contacts permission it will open, but I cannot attach it to my phone number as it just gives me an error after entering the PIN that I get via Text message.
This whole "let's move this offline" is not an acceptable response. We all are having this issue, the app clearly needs to be updated to work with Monterey.
Verizon support PM'd me but the message is somehow marked in such a fashion that I cannot reply. It was asking my device I'm using. The mobile device is irrelevant, I can't get far enough to even register the app with my phone/account, as soon as you open it it crashes.
Hello, ExR90. We are very sorry to hear about the trouble that has been happening with the Message+ app working on your Mac device. We certainly want to make sure that we do everything that we can to ensure that this app is working correctly. When you use Verizon Message+ with My Verizon online, does it work correctly? -Brett
Thank you for that info. Are you experiencing issues with any other apps from your device? -Robert C.
No other app has been affected by this latest software update. The VERIZON MESSAGES + took the hit.
I had the same issue when upgraded to Monterey OS and here how I fixed it.
This worked for me.
Apparently Apple Monterey OS doesn't want to allow message+ to have access to Contact in your MAC.
Best of Luck,
Kiumars
