- Verizon Message Plus is shutting down today.
- Users won’t be able to send or receive messages, and the app itself won’t be available to download.
- Verizon recommends switching to Google Messages or Apple Messages, depending on your device.
Verizon is finally shutting down its Message Plus app today. The gradual shutdown of the app started in October, but as of today, the app will be fully discontinued. This means three things — you will no longer be able to use Message Plus to send or receive messages, any messages you may have scheduled to be sent out today or after will not be sent, and you will no longer be able to download Message Plus from the Google Play Store or the App Store.
