Marketplace messages disappearing & text typing issues

Auto text on messenger has become worse and worse over time making multitudes of errors when my spelling is correct. Previously ALL marketplace messages are disappearing and can’t be found. No one ever gets back to you when making complaints or suggestions. Also sometimes I share a post from someone or an add to my profile and facebook removes it stating it’s been flagged as inappropriate or a breach to rules… how? ??? And when you wa t to dispute it there’s NO OPTION. to custom make a written response as there’s only selected incorrect choices. Typing issues also occurring with caps locked & unlocked letters and many misspelling problems in auto text worse than ever . So i deleted app and it was ok for a while resurfaced again. ( sellers , friends i know and buyers all had same issue ) otherwise app is great Also in market place adds the description and information sections are now compressed into dropdown menus recently DUE TO NEW ADDS which is a pain and confusing ( why developers insist on always changing a good working system Just to stuff it up again. Like Microsoft windows does does with changing tabs , locations, features in its word , excell and new apps versions after people are used to finding them in its original layouts … if you add something then ADD IT ON or make a NEW TAB, DONT CHANGE EXISTING FEATURES AFTER PEOPLE ARE USED TO THEM FOR YEARS . That is my suggestion.

Scammers within government agencies

I took a cruise and had no access to a proper Wifi. I could use messenger to contact friends and whoever.
Since I needed to report to Centrelink, I tried to contact through messenger. There were three contacts appearing with Centrelink Logos. I decided to try all three.
My predicament was I needed datas before I can report so I can get paid. One of this Centrelink contacts asked me for details and said so that they can pay ASAP.
I said I couldn’t give him any as I still don’t have the information.
IOW, I DIDN’T give him anything .
Anyway, as soon the ship docked, I have managed to access a proper Wifi and managed to report through the proper channels with an acknowledged receipt from the proper organisation.
The Centrelink contacts kept asking me for an update. I told this particular one, that my business has been accomplished and I no longer need their assistance.
But then again, this morning, I received a message from one I
Of the contacts asking me where I come from and what’s my origin.
Obviously a scammer! If they are from Centrelink as they say they are, they should have my profile.
I have since contacted FB so I can delete.
Anyway, I hope that’s the last I would hear of this contacts. I hope FB would just delete this contact.

Messenger app crashing

I thought updates fixes issues and improves overall performance? How come After I updated messenger on my iPad yesterday, it kept crashing? Everytime I try to open, everything goes black and freezes the whole screen. Please do something about it and make sure future updates don’t cause more problem. Another thing, the features in the old version like maybe until January were way better than the current version (eg. the video icon looks like it’s blinking when you are talking to someone and the person is on your chat/conversation at the same time, it tells you when the one you are calling is on another call, and it shows without having to open the conversation to check whether the last message has been read or not. The latest update is worse. Sometimes it doesn’t show someone is calling when I’m currently on another call. I just found out I got a missed call when I went to the conversations list and it shows I got one from a friend. What if it’s an important call that one of messenger users miss because it didn’t show there’s another one calling??? This is something that needs to be fixed the soonest. I hope you can enable Live Photo sharing as well
