I guess any response beats none at all...maybe. I just wish SOMEONE would run this past the app development team. It's not a complicated revision and those who frequent the tech forums as I do know it would be hugely popular. The top SMS apps already have this ability & there's no reason Verizon's can't. It's a marvelous, highly configurable app "as is"  (and my personal favorite) but is hindered by the inclusion of all numbers & emails when composing. I dare say by adding the option to exclude all but mobile numbers would be far more popular than some of the more peripheral additions included in  recent updates.

Perhaps so but not the point.  All users are not tech savvy and many are clueless about managing such things.  Additionally, there are lots of posts from users of some mobile devices who cannot permanently disable the DT Ignite app reporting it will restart with every reboot requiring disabling repeatedly to avoid the nuisance downloads.  If you take a look at the app's permissions you'll find it has unrestricted access to your phone unlike anything I've ever seen.  This is a rogue app and Verizon (along with other carriers installing it) needs to stop, immediately.  Carrier bloat has always been somewhat of a nuisance but at least, was a known entity.  DT Ignite has changed the game in a big way.

I, for one, will not stand for this.  If Verizon continues to utilize this I will sever a long term relationship - they should be embarrassed.  This abomination WILL NOT  be on my next phone and of that, you can be assured.

I also use Wallet but disabling an app simply because it cannot be uninstalled is not a substitute for a solution.  This is a prime  example why pre-installed apps should be minimized.  Most customers had no desire for this particular app anf now, couldn't use it if they wanted to.  Yet, we are preventing from removing the dead weight from our devices.  Unacceptable.
