Messenger 12+

I like Messenger but I would give it a 5 star rating if it were easier to be able to delete and then block unwanted spam messages without having to actually go into the message. You can easily delete a message from people you are friends with by hovering over the message and then selecting delete, but you can’t do that with spam messages. It would be great if you could both delete a fake/spam message and then block the profile by hovering over the message without opening it up. I know they don’t see you have opened the message, but it’s not the point. It’s not easy or obvious how you delete the unwanted message and then block the person. In fact it’s easier to block the person/fake profile than it is to delete a message from them!

Please bring back the sent, delivered & seen icons. Also do away with this issue of a person being able to leave your message on sent.. how rude ,ignorant. Have seen online that this and the features of restrict, ignore many are asking to be removed from the app as causes mental health problems, issues in relationships . I agree with this & thinks is so wrong to encourage people to not communicate, ignore them. What’s the point in messaging someone to be left on sent or delivered. If that person didn’t want to receive messages then option should be just unfriendly or block or drop them a quick reply to say busy etc. only takes a second to reply. I think messenger is just making people become non communicative & ignorant avoiding conversations & communication. It should be that if I send a message, it says sent, then when delivered to the other person say delivered, then if the person reads say seen or if they choose to not read say unread but they have to select that option. Or if they delete the message let the other person know they have deleted & saves them sending messages and wasting there time. I love messenger but these are not good flaws an a good way to communicate with people it’s doing the opposite. Fix these issues and bring in better options as mentioned above. Makes it more clearer for people sending messages to others

I’ve used the messenger app for what seems like forever, I’ve had no issues with it other than the sound on calls being quiet which I know is not the fault of my phone, other than that everything is great.
The one glitch I’ve noticed and have asked other iPhone users about and they have confirmed it’s happening to them as well, is that sometimes notifications that come through (not the red circle by the app) and do not go away, for example I received a message about a week ago and it kept the notification in my notification wall even though I had pressed it and viewed the message, I deleted the notification by swiping it across and selecting delete but it came back within 24hours. It’s not really a big problem but it often does this with a few messages and they keep coming back, it’s a little frustrating and I often find myself thinking that I’ve missed messages from friends.
