I get charged monthly for Cloud for my family.  It doesn't actually worked and hasn't in a long time.  Any support attempts just left me highly frustrated, and I eventually read that many people have the same problems.  Does anyone know how to get it working?

Users of Messages + on Windows have found that older versions have stopped working, and that the current version, 3.0x, once installed, have NO OLDER MESSAGES.  Days, weeks, months, years of older messages are gone.  Instead of fixing synch, Verizon removed it for all older messages, and removed the SYNCH button.   IMHO, this is a massive degrading of an important tool to many VZW subscribers.  Like anyone, I use M+ on my cell phone as needed, but it is painful for me, due to arthritis, to send longer messages from my phone.  Having M+ on my PC's has been useful for years.  One of the things I liked was finding older message threads for important information and history with someone.  On the PC, that's gone.    VZW won't tell me why they did this, and it seems pretty obvious they won't tell anyone.  BUT, reps have 'tried' to fix it for many of us.  Presumably the company didn't tell their own tech support what they'd done. Now all we've left on PC's to use is the web access, and we all know how 'well' it works. Verizon, please restore and fix message synch on M+ for Windows!

I've been using Message + on Win 10 for years, equiv on my Android phone.  Beyond waiting for Verizon to update to Google's latest tech standards, I'm mostly content with it other than it never being completely in sync with my phone. I recently got a flood of messages from Verizon threatening to cut off my Windows access unless I updated.  So I went through that pain and discovered a very nasty surprise - it does not SYNC at all, nor is there a SYNC command in the menus.  In other words, the only messages I see on my PC are brand new ones since I installed this cr-pware.  This makes the app next to useless because I rely on that message history.  If Verizon wants us to take this new version, they first need it to work, to have at least as much functionality as the old version.   I went back to the old version, but it doesn't accept the texted PIN that Verizon sends out.  That's also super nasty.   I wonder if Verizon is degrading their messaging to get people to stop using it.  Great way to tick off their customers, since messaging is probably the number one app on any phone!
