    If you're running Nougat on your device, you won't be able to post. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, clearing the app cache, all of the normal troubleshooting stuff. I'm going to see if the old version is out on APK Mirror. (sigh). @Danny, please help!

    On the device I updated (LG V20, Android Nougat), I'm unable to post. I've done all the troubleshooting save factory reset in that device. I'm posting this from my Huawei Mate 9, also running Nougat, but I did not update the app.

    The error message on the V20 is: "Failed to send message. If this problem persists, contact your forum administrator."

    You can just post using a web browser... So much easier.

    I'm going to use an app to save the .apk from this device and reinstall it on the other device. Easy enough.

    Even so, it seems the update may not have been tested on Nougat devices...

    You mean some app update or Android itself??
    Your thread title indicates an OS issue, but your description indicates an app issue.
    If it is an app issue, what app?

    The PriusChat update for Android is faulty.

    Sorry, the interface on Apple devices drives me crazy. I find it user-hostile.

    Apple's proprietary interfaces have peeved me since the Apple II. Making customers buy new cables and peripherals for every device upgrade is quite a ripoff.

    I used a Bluetooth app transfer app to send a copy of the original .apk to the V20, installed it, and now all is well with the world.
