PROBLEM!!!!!

I am getting tired of this app! At first it didn’t have the ‘’edit’’ button so I couldn’t change my profile picture which was beyond terrible! This continued to happen for months even though I regularly updated the app and sent numerous complains about this but nothing really changed. After so much frustration, I decided to delete messenger from my phone so I could download it again. ‘’This can maybe fix my problem’’ I thought. But nooo, the universe doesn’t want me to be happy! Now I can’t even get in! The moment I press messenger’s icon, I get kicked out. Please fix this immediately, I am in desperate need.

Worst Apple Watch app award.

It’s so bad that I don’t know where to start from. When I press reply the only thing I can see is three blue bubbles. If I press on one I realize the one means emoji the other voice and the other scribble. Why I can’t see any emojis?! Also why I can’t see any photo of any of my friends? What if I have two friends that have the same name? Also the reply just doesn’t work or I just can’t click on some conversations just randomly. Also no gif support and no calls support. What are you people doing?! Are you serious? You are multi billion dollar company and you make an app that a kid from my college can make better than you do? Invest a bit on making a useful interface with no bugs and also I have to say it really is a shame that you are so blinded that you don’t see people’s suggestions people's complains and people’s needs. Of course I am sure you will not even read this review and you will do nothing for fixing those things but I had to say it for other people to see how bad Facebook is being in accepting our ideas.

Many MANY issues

Messenger used to be normal and quite fun too. It was useful and usable. But now numerous issues, which, for your information, are terribly frustrating, have arisen. I cannot change my profile picture nor my name, I cannot edit the nicknames in group chats, and, the most important of all, all the photos that had been sent and saved in the chats are no longer there. It’s absolutely terrible because in many chats these were 2 years worth of photos. Not to mention that the new ones are not being saved either, nor can they be edited. My complain message was either never delivered or bluntly ignored. I’m getting tired of this and, as I gather from other people’s reviews and from my friends, other people are too. Fix this please. In the middle of a global pandemic, functional messaging apps are all we have. It is imperative you fix this.
