I am no longer receiving audible notifications while in the text message screen with the person I am texting on Message+. I have to close or back out of the screen to receive an audible notification. I'll send someone a text message, set my phone on the table, and wonder why they haven't replied after 5 minutes. Well, they have replied; I just wasn't staring at my phone or backing out of Message+. This audible notification was taken away a year or so ago, then put back after customer complaints. I'm guessing it was recently taken away again. I understand some people like it and some people don't. There is a (less desirable) 3rd party text messaging app that gives the option of receiving audible notifications or not while in the text message screen. An option in Message+ settings would solve the issue for people who don't stare at their phones waiting for a text message and/or don't want to back out of Message+ every time they send a text message or for people who don't want audible notifications in the text message screen.

Question for any Verizon Samsung phone users (I have the Note 5): The Message+ app for text messaging seems to have a problem since its update today [(2/3/17) (Message+ Version 6.2.3)]. Most of the time, I will send a text message and leave my phone on the table to do other things until I get an audible notification that the person I sent a message to has replied while leaving the text message / chat screen open. Since the update, I no longer get an audible notification while in the text message / chat screen from the person I am texting, but I do get an audible notification from them if I back out of the text message / chat screen. So I have two options: 1) send a text and back out of the text message / chat screen every time I send a text or 2) visually check my phone every minute or so to see if I received a reply from the person I sent a message to. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks for any input.
