Just bought a year. Downloaded Verizon Messaging. Like it so far,but my texts appear as squares on other cell phones sometimes.  Really don't want to have to use two different message apps.

What that means is the other users phone is not able to translate the font or characters you are sending, so it replaces it with squares or rectangles.  Do you use a lot of emojis or special fonts or characters?  My daughter has an iPhone, I have Android - sometimes our icons appear on each other's texts as boxes, because I don't have the same set she does.

Are the boxes showing when your texts are going to someone using a different platform (Android to iOS, or Windows, for example?)
