Mini 4, iOS 11.4, Verizon Message + works

Mini 4, iOS 12, Verizon Message + does not work. I get notifications and see the messages in the notifications but the messages do not make it to the app. It just says “Waiting for network” or “Connecting” but never does either. (It’s wifi only, all other apps work fine so it’s not wifi.)

iPad Pro 9.7, iOS 12, Verizon Message + works.

I had iOS 12 beta on Mini 4 but went back to iOS 11.4 when I couldn’t get Message + to work. When I tried iOS 12 beta (later version) on iPP 9.7, Message + worked fine so I reinstalled iOS 12 on Mini 4 and Message + quit working again. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled, Mini 4 is listed and it’s getting notifications.

Does anyone have any suggestions for settings I might check? I’m not sure what might be different between the Mini 4 and the iPP 9.7. I really need to use iOS 12 because of the much-improved picture import but I also need Message + on the Mini 4.
 
Update. When I went to uninstall Message+ last night, it populated with messages. As far as I know, I haven’t made any changes. I didn’t pay attention when I last updated apps to whether that one was updated with everything else. Anyway, it’s working now.
