I've gone ahead and called out @VerizonSupport on Twitter for not seeming to think this is important. You all should do the same.

My phone doing the exact same thing.  Started after an update several days ago.

-Restarting does not fix

-Reinstalling the Message+ app does not fix

-Updating the message+ app does not fix

- Does not matter when, where, how, or what type of attachment.  Happening in every circumstance

App literally crashes immediately when trying to select attach for anything to a message work around is to go into your photos and share. This is rediculous. Probably instituted on purpose as the v20 is now two years old

The VZW rep was responding to another community member in this discussion thread. The DM was sent to them not you.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Message+ also works also normally in Safe mode for me, able to attach to messages again..

Unfortunately most other apps are not operational in Safe mode.

Mine crashes as well every time I hit the plus sign. Went to Verizon store to investigate and she said it was a reported issue by looking at this thread. So...any more we need to do to help push this up the chain to get fixed? Very aggravating.

I'm also dealing with the same issue. Since the last security update, I cant add photos or attachments. It crashes the message+ app. But I can text and receive texts/photos. My cloud app crashes as well, but I havent even fully set it up so I dont even open it. Apparently we're not the only ones struggling with this. Ive tried to do soft reset, I've deleted 3rd party apps, ive used safe mode(of course it works perfect there) but nothing is resolving the issue. Ive deleted cache, temp files, even the message+ app with no fix. Lg v20 was a good phone until this last security update!

Yeah. They "Verizon" say it's probably an app that causes these problems. I agree, so why did they install it on our phones.

Has anyone checked to see if the google photos app crashes for them as well? I tried to use it to back up photos, and it crashes as well. My other lg v20 has just started doing the crashing of apps as well.

Thank you for reaching out BRAHMA1387. At this time we have no additional information this issue. From the detail you have provided us with, this issue should be solved by the manufactures next software update.

When will the next software update be Verizon Wireless Customer Support

This is only helpful if the next 'manufactures software update' is today.  However, typically they are several months in between updates.

My Google Photos is having issues uploading from my V20. Started Saturday. Also cant post pictures on Facebook as it shows I dont have any pictures on my phone .Can't attach pictures in text messages using message+  really annoying because I've checked every setting, reset, deleted apps, deleted pics.

I don't use Google Photos, instead I have Gallery & it has the same exact

issue! Spent 9 hrs today on the phone with LG, Google, & Verizon! The issue

with the 'crashes', so to speak with FB & Message+ did not get

resolved...But, there is an alternative for now until the last Update mess

up is fixed!  Since you have LG v20, look in the LG app album and find the

orange colored 'Messaging' app and make it your default Text Message app!

All your messages from Message+ will show up in it! Just tap that app, it

will ask if you want this yo be the default message app, tell it yes! It

will work great with your photos, then.  As for Facebook, go to the Play

Store and search for Facebook, as there is another one in there, 'Facebook

Lite'. It is like the old version of FB, the icon will be a white

background with a blue F in it...install this version and run it! This

version will also recognize your Photos & can upload within FB!  No need to

uninstall the new version, just tap and this old version and it works

fine!  Then wait until they have another Android Update, and maybe they'll

correct the bug in the last update.
