Windows 10 Messages Notifications - content has disappeared
Dr_H
Enthusiast - Level 1

I believe this falls under the category of "toast notifications"

When I first installed the app (back when it was called Messages+), the pop-up notification would appear containing the name of the sender and a preview of the message content. For some time now, the message content has disappeared, the pop-up simply reports that new content is available.


Is this by design?


According the Windows Store, the app hasn't been updated since 2015, so I'm not sure why/how the feature could have changed.

The app has all notification settings activated.

I have the same problem.  The question asks about Windows 10 -- so not a phone!

It just started to happen for me.  It may have been after a recent Windows Update.

The Windows Notification area shows the "Verizon Messages" header and the red icon, but for each and every message in the notfication area, it only ever shows a "Verizon Messages" header, the text "New notification" and the timestamp. Clicking the notification does bring you to the app (presumably to that message, I haven't made sure of that).

If it can no longer show any useful information in the Notifcation area, I'd like a way to just turn that off!  (Frankly I have considered turning it off anyway, something like a badge on the task bar would but plenty sufficient for me.)

Also I second the complain about the terrible problems with syncing with this app on Windows (10) and other devices.  I frequently miss messages here, but more often than that, other devices don't receive my messages that I create in the Windows (10) app.

Is anybody listening that can actually fix these problems!?!?

I'm having the same issue.  No preview of the new message in the notification box.  The notification box simply says:

Verizon Messages

New notification

Please advise.  Thanks!

This has been going on for a few weeks.  I believe, but I'm not sure, it started after a major Windows 10 update was pushed.  I've uninstalled/reinstalled the VERIZON MESSAGES app with no success.  No issues with notifications from numerous other apps.
