messages + Verizon question

[ansa82]

I started off using the stock SMS but didn't like it so im using messages +. Everyday im getting this notification popping up telling me messages + AND SMS is using permissions? Then it disappears? When I switched to messages + the phone asked if i wanted this to be my default texting app and i said yes. Anyone know how to turn this notification off?

The only thing I can offer is try either restarting the phone or clearing the app cache or system cache.
I also use Messages+ and like it SO much better than the default app. You don't read of a lot of people using it (Verizon) and I don't know why.

That's strange I use messages plus also and don't have the same problem. I have stock SMS disabled though , have you tried that?

No I haven't tried that. How should I disable it? Through apps in settings?

Apparently it's already disabled. Not sure why I'm getting that notification. If I get it again, I will get a screen shot

When you enable an SMS app as default it automatically removes the prior as default and disables it.

Hold down the notification and cut it off

I've cleared it before, oddly enough it keeps coming back

Go into lockscreen and security/app permission monitor. You an then toggle off for the messages+ app (or you can go a step further and just toggle off for sms and not all the permissions) . Otherwise it's going to alert you any time the app tries to use sms.

I'm under lock screen but do not see security app permissions? Am I looking in the wrong area?
