I use the Verizon Messages app on my phone, tablet, a Windows computer and a Mac (the latter being the corporate computer). I started using the Verizon Messages app several years ago to have text messages synced across mutliple devices, only one of which is a Verizon mobile device. Good luck to anyone whom is successful in using this app. At least tell us that you don’t give a crap rather than just ignoring your customer base by not giving them the means to communicate these issues. I do wish to continue using the desktop app on my iMac AND you need to give better customer service for app usage. This is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. As far as support to obtain answers about my issue, forget it. Anyhow, I’m finidng this very annoying that the desktop app is no longer working for myself.

With the tech we have today why does T9 even still exist? LOL. Otherwise I’m stuck on my T9 texting phone and that’s absurd. I will claim that I've enjoyed using this app over the years because of convenience. Not even a trace of it running by instpecting my activity monitor. POOF! its gone! As if I never even opened it. When the app begins to open and a screen shows up, it closes itself just as fast. the sevice techs say to do) and to no avail.

I’ve tride several differnt angles of attack (i.e. I recently purchased a brand new Mac with all the bells and whistles, because I can, and now the Messages+ app crashes the instant I open it.
#GET MESSAGES ON MAC INSTALL#
Again, I highly recommend that you do not install this it is worse than beta software.ģ stars downgradded to 1 star! I have successfully been using the Verizon Messages+ app for about 3 years now without major issues, mostly on my G5 PowerMac. A greatly missed opportunity to have me hooked in to the Verizon message+ system, but at the same time, not too surprising that Verizon end-user execution is so poor.

I would recommend you stay away from this app, it is far too buggy and if you are not careful you might lose messages on your device as you try to troubleshoot and look for workarounds. It amazes me that a company of Verizon’s resources, technological depth cannot write and subsequently support a messaging app on the desktop to consumers. This is certainly not the iMessage app equivalent, far from it. The app deteriorated in performance and eventually it was unusable. It was like start the app from scratch every single time it was initiated. After that reinstall, the app could not keep any of its settings, each app start sent me back to the setup where it would ask that I put in my mobile number - previous settings such as hide upon login would also not be retained. When I deleted this pic everything worked fine but I had to reinstall the app. It kept crashing constantly and I eventually located the problem to a picture in a specific message. Seemed to work fine for the first 3-4 days but then something happend and the app came to halt. Sending SMS through your Mac is perfectly possible if you enable Continuity, but that shouldn't be confused with iMessage the probable result of having your Mac with the lid closed when someone sends you an SMS is that only your phone will receive it, not the opposite.I was very excited, but had a little apprehension given that this is Verizon software, about this messaging app when I first installed it. Having your email as the origin or destination is an option but it will result in iMessages sent by your Mac to create a different conversation thread than messages sent by your phone iMessages answered to your email (instead of your phone) will only appear on your Mac, when you open it. Then go to the section below and select your phone number as the " Start new conversations from:" origin on the drop-down menu this allows you to consolidate your sent iMessages from the same origin. Open Messages and press cmd+, or go to Messages > Preferences to check if your Apple ID is the same on your iPhone and Mac, and below that, check the section titled: " You can be reached for messages at:" and confirm that your phone number appears and it's checked this allows your Mac to receive iMessages sent to your phone. It may have to do with your iMessage configuration.
