Verizon message+ does not sync your own texts with iphone texts My friends are using Verizon's Message+ app for a group chat.  I would like to participate.
The primary problem is that when I send messages from Message+, the messages that I send do not show up as text messages in the iPhone iMessage version of the conversation.  So I can only see what I text from the Message+ app.
Everyone else can see my messages in both places.  I cannot find anything in the iPhone settings to change this.
[This problem makes no sense... why would the app not sync my own messages with my own phone, when it shows it to everyone else, even though some people don't have iPhones (some are on android)? ] (Original)
Edited: Everyone else can see their own texts in both apps, but I cannot.  There must be some setting to toggle this, but I cannot find it in either app's settings.  None of my friends toggled any settings from default, nor did I.  Any help is appreciated.
Ask Verizon why their app does not have some feature you think it should have.
Re why you think it's strange that the recipient sees the message in both apps... what else did you expect to happen?  Verizon's Message+ does not implement a different communication channel, it's a received SMS.  Of course both are going to show it, they'd be useless if they did not.
