Carrier Services

So, I understand that many people are undergoing the same issue, but I would REALLY like a fix to this ongoing problem I've had since the last update. Whenever I open my messages app, I keep getting warnings that messages aren't going to work properly unless I update this app. Oddly, when I check there is no clear update available. It's aggravating because it sometimes prevents me from texting for certain periods of time, even when I have excellent Internet. Please resolve this irritating issue.

Ever since I woke up today, my phone's been sending these notifications urging me to update Google play services, or else a handful of vital apps/services won't run! So, I go to Google play services on the Play store and uninstall it to reinstall it back to update! The notifications persisted despite me updating it. Second time! Errors showed up unable to install it back. At some point, the app did reinstall! But guess what? These notifications still show up as I'm typing this...

this app recently started hogging more data and then when you try to clear it, it has newly started to log me out of YouTube. Literally wasn't doing that 2 days ago. Getting tired of Google based technology, they make changes that aren't user friendly and take away customer choice. I would like the choice to use apps without logging in. Don't always want data being collected about me. Invasive.
