Why Can't I Get Texts Through My Car After 6.4.4 Update?

[KENPAR63]

After getting the messenger+ update to 6.4.4 I can no longer get the text through my car? Suggestions??

There's been yet another update:

Verizon Messages - v.6.4.5

Kenpar63, I know that using your vehicle features is a great option to have. Let’s work together to see how we can get your messages feature going again. Have you tried to update the Messeger+ app as suggested by Tikibar1? Additionally, with updates, sometimes the car manufacturer has to update software on their end as well before it’s compatible. It’s a great idea to check with the manufacturer’s site and some times even the dealer for suggestions as well.

Figured it out. With update 6.4.5 was finally given the opportunity to not use chat. Once I was able to not have to use chat I now receive messages through my car again

I did the same to get my flip phone to receive again. EVERYONE needs to know of this. I have no idea why Verizon has not released some kind of bulletin stating this. Any why it is enabled by default.

I don't see an option to turn off chat.  How did you do that?

Nevermind, just found it.  I really wish Verizon would quit screwing with what was a great text messaging app.

I concur with the statement about Verizon messing with this app.  It WAS great.  Now it's terrible.

My Issue:

EVERY time I attach a photo, the "Powered By Kanvas" portion of the attachment process opens up 90-deg to the screen orientation and NEARLY EVERY time it pastes the photo 90-deg to what it is supposed to be!

VERY frustrating.

I uninstalled all updates until Verizon figures out that there is  serious problem and fixes it.  I'll probably lose some other functionality because of this, though.

Fix this please!
