Hi @aarons_vzw is there a plan to address this issue or has Verizon made the decision that Android Wear watches will not be useable with the Message+ application?

Hi @coreym_vzw are you saying that if I fill out that form which says it is to "Sign up for email alerts about our latest products and services." I will get infomation on when Message+ will be fixed so that it is once again compatible with Wear OS?

Thank you for responding; CoreyM_VZW, but I just checked the link you posted...All it is; is a sign-up for email alerts on promotional offers and new products.  That link contains no information on this issue....If you don't have a REAL ANSWER for us on this issue; just BE HONEST and admit  it.  There's nothing wrong with not having an answer; as long as you're actually interested, in putting forth the effort to actually find us an answer.

I got excited when I saw a new update for Message+ today but I still can't install the app on my watch 😞

I read this entire thread because I'm having this same issue with message+ not being available fory smartwatch.  But the thing that's confusing me is that the OP stated numerous times that he believes Verizon is content to leave this issue unfixed because they're making money selling Samsung's galaxy smart watches.  Thing is, that's the exact smartwatch I have, the galaxy active sport 2.  And I wish it were compatible with message+.  If it is, I haven't gotten it to work.  

 

Anyone else with a galaxy smartphone able to use message+?  It's by far my favorite SMS app and I don't want to use another.
