absolutely horrendous. The messages don't update unless you click on the conversation. It won't even notify you. When you try to send a picture/video, it will only show an empty black menu. Also, media does not update. Fix this messenger. This is absolutely horrendous, and using messenger gives me a headache. These glitches even caused misunderstandings and miscommunications with people.

Okay. It has been quite annoying at some random point while using messenger, my messages would get stuck in 'sending' and would not send at all after a few minutes or hours! My Internet connection is fine, but the app is not. Fix your app with its bugs, because it is inconvenient for what's supposed to be a fast communication app.

Newest update broke the app. When I open up my pictures it's just completely black, I have to force stop and restart the app several times to be able to send images. When I receive photos and videos from others I can't see them outside of the preview/thumbnail. Outgoing messages won't send and will sometimes disappear when I exit the chat window only to reappear at random. This used to be a reliable messaging app but seems like AI is more important than actual communication
