How do I remove bubbles from words in VM  text messages?  Certain words get a gray circle around them with a picture that appears when I hover over it (like "birthday"), and it becomes a pain when editing a message.  Thanks

With Verizon Messages open, tap the three lines in the upper left-hand corner, then tap Settings, then uncheck Enable Smart Emojis.

not the message bubbles - when I type a text specific words will appear with a grey circle; when I touch them, emojis or pics display  A screenshot is attached with the word 'birthday' in a bubble:

It was unchecked.  However, I checked it, then unchecked it, ad now it appears to be correct.

Thank you!

one additional step, select conversations in the setting menu, that's where you'll find Enable Smart Emojis.

Thank you!  Can't believe how long I put up with those annoying bubbles! Your directions were clear and worked perfectly.
