[PokeyMan_23]

I have the Verizon Messages + app downloaded on my iPhone SE 2022 3rd Generation , I signed in on it with my Verizon account information, how can I use it only and not the iMessage currently on iPhone anymore, I like the Verizon Messages + app cause of the features that it has to offer. So how can I go about using it only, is there some settings that I have to apply to use it only and not the Messages app  anymore, let me know what I have to do please

We are happy to hear you are enjoying Message+! You can switch between the native texting app on your phone and Verizon Messages (Message+). To select Message+ as the Primary, you can enable strictly Message+ within your Settings > Messages for your iPhone. If any questions arise in taking this step, PM us! We are here for you.

Ok then I will give it a try by doing that as you say to, and if I have anymore questions, I sure will hit yall up for whatever reason it may be

Another question does the iMessage have to be turned off in order for Verizon Message + to work by any means on my iPhone SE 3rd Generation

[vzw_customer_support]

Not necessarily! Given you are using Message+ as opposed to the preinstalled messaging for the iPhone, it should not need to be enabled. PM us if any other questions come to mind!

[PokeyMan_23]

Do I need to turn off iMessage by means at all, let me know

[PokeyMan_23]

When I go to Settings and then select Message, where do I go under Message when I click on Message, what to select and deselect under there ,

[PokeyMan_23]

I was told by an agent that Verizon Message+ does not work at all on an Apple iphone when it get downloaded, so I am gonna be switching over to Android by today and then I can download it and use it on Android without any problems at all whatsoever.
