Verizon Messages, otherwise known as Message Plus, was the carrier's own text-messaging app that came preloaded as a default on Android phones sold by the carrier until 2022.

Verizon Message Plus will be shutting down in November 2024 because it cannot offer the ‘best messaging experience’.

Verizon’s Message Plus app is officially on its way out, but the company has quietly extended the deadline for the shutdown.

Verizon will fully discontinue its Message Plus app today. The carrier recommends that Android users should move to Google Messages.

After announcing it some time ago, Verizon is completing the Message+ shutdown in favor of the Google Messages platform.

Verizon's SMS app, Message+, is shutting down beginning next month. Thankfully, it seems that most Android users won't have too much trouble moving on.

In a rather unsurprising move, Verizon Messages (Message+) is shutting down in November and Android users are encouraged to use Google Messages instead.
