Verizon Wireless subscribers are not new to MMS issues. Matter of fact, Verizon MMS issues have been an ever-present for years now and it seems they aren’t going away anytime soon.
Whether it’s sending MMS messages, receiving them or even sometimes both cases, long-time Verizon users have had it all. The carrier’s community forums has reports dating back to 2016 regarding various MMS issues.
Owners of various Samsung Galaxy devices seem to be the most affected, although others who have experienced the issue say devices from other OEMs are also affected. We’ve also covered related cases from OnePlus 6T owners too, with one of them from 2018.
Early last year, the issue popped up on the Galaxy S8 following the January 2019 security update.
Even after the update to Android 9 Pie arrived a couple of months later, the issue still persisted, something that was well documented by PiunikaWeb.
A Verizon support came out to acknowledge the MMS issues and promised that a software update would address them, but more reports kept creeping in throughout the year.
Fast-forward to February 2020, the Galaxy S8 MMS issues thread started in the Verizon community in 2017 is still getting new comments from affected owners of the device.
From the look of things, this seems to be a Verizon problem and nothing to do with phone models. Like the case that followed after the Galaxy S8 Android Pie update, perhaps another software update is needed to address Verizon MMS issues in all affected devices.
Hopefully, Verizon gets to act soon and push the update to the likes of Samsung Galaxy S10, Note 9, S9 and even the Galaxy S8, among others.
