Samsung Note5, Marsmallow, baseband version ending in BQA1 as if Feb 1/17. I had messenger 6.4.5. Reinstalled each new version after repeated force close, zombie txt, and inability to attach pic thru gallery.

Ver 6.4.5 would not send, it would force close. Rolled back to factory Vz messenger+, worked flawlessly for 3 days then would not send/rcv txt on mobile or wifi. Disabled message+ went to native samsung app.

The bug appears isolated to message+ via the new default chat setting & with the provisioning of new Kanvas functionality.

These issues are widespread over multiple devices/users. Hard to believe this passed beta testing,  shocking really considering VZW doesn't bless any new software into the network that quickly ever.

We want to get those messages working as they should be once again, JAYSC! Does the messaging application receive duplicates of every text message received or just from specific numbers?

Every number.

Have taken numerous steps from notifications to setting default, and does not solve problem. One thing I noticed is that I can force stop the system messaging app that came with my droid razr, and test send a text. The first time I do send a text, it sends one, but changes the force stop setting, then starts receiving duplicate texts again. Love this app but can not use it with duplicate texts, very annoying.

Thanks

In fact it is safe to say the newest update 6.4.5 made it worse....for me at least. The app decided it doesn't do messaging anymore. It force closes, still can't attach pics and refuses to notify. I have used the 'hamburger' button to report bugs, it seems on the complaints in the Play Store get any response.

It seems VZW has decided to replace a great messaging app with a stroppy nosy toddler in need of a nap.
